Question: What do you consider to be your greatest professional achievement so far?

This is a typical job interview question. Write your answer as though you are in an actual interview.

USEFUL LANGUAGE:

I have had many achievements in my career, but a recent one was when…
This experience taught me…
As a result of this…
