What accomplishment are you most proud of?

In this video I discuss the interview question "what accomplishment in your current position are you most proud of?" I usually ask this question in all interviews because it gives me an idea of what kind of worker you are. Are you the kind that does his/her job and goes home or are you the kind of person that is looking for ways to move the business forward?

Great video! Thank you for sharing your advice. I'm getting ready for interviews, and because I'm a foreigner I don't feel prepared ( yet ) for an interview in the U.S. Your videos are helping me a lot! Thanks

[@scharfftank]

No problem. I'm glad you are finding them helpful. We have a large number of international students at Limestone College and while it is a little more difficult as you need a sponsor for the H1B, it is not impossible.

Thank you for sharing. I have an upcoming interview tmrrw. These tips are solid and useful. Thank you!

I was a part-time colleague teacher. My biggest achievement was that students gave me a birthday cake after class to celebrate my birthday. I see it as their recognition for my work. I never purposefully please the students. What I did was just to present good lessons and care for them. Since they showed affection towards me in this way, I guess that means they believe they have benefited from my teaching.

[@scharfftank]

I think that is a good one... could also add if any students reached out years afterwards to thank you for what you taught them. I think anything that shows that you went beyond the basic responsibilities of your job are things that you highlight - creating new classes, adding content, developing new ways to teach, etc.

@@scharfftank "went beyond the basic responsibilities" OK. I noted it down. Thank you.

[@scharfftank]

@@John_C. Yes, because if your biggest accomplishment is "doing your job" what is it telling the interviewer?

[@John_C.]

Since I teach interpreting, I update students' exercise materials every year with content from my real interpreting jobs. I think this sounds like "the extra mile".@@scharfftank

Interesting advice, but not all businesses are solely about increasing revenue and reducing costs. Increasing safety can be very important.

[@baptisteindustriesllc.5074]

I TOTALLY Agree!!

[@jabbarbago7853]

Please make more videos/content. God Bless, Thank you.

What will the answer be if the person is a fresher or recent graduate?

[@aayoutube3919]

Please make a video on how to answer such questions for recent graduates and people with less experience

[@scharfftank]

will do...

[@batoulbayer]

I hope if you can make it soon

I have a phone interview for a faculty position at an online university Wednesday, should I mention my degree and area of study which is related to the position? Tips PLEASE

[@scharfftank]

I'm guessing you applied for the position and that those are on your CV... so there is really no reason to bring those up unless you can add something to what is on your CV... they know your degree and concentration which is why you got the interview. I'd focus on your experience with different CMSs and online teaching.

"Being straight"
Might get negative comment's but 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@limestoneuniversityethics5022]

Unclear why that would be a strength or a weakness. But more importantly, why would a business care

[@GoldFishCracker]

I saw you say that in another video. If you randomly bring up your sexuality as an accomplishment, you can assume you won’t be getting a call back.
