This is the first in a two-part Business English Podcast series on talking about your accomplishments 2. It is one of an ongoing 3 sequence of podcasts that focus on the job interview process.


Along with your previous experience, your greatest accomplishment 1 is one of the topics that is sure to come up in almost any job interview. This question appears in a variety of forms: What was your proudest achievement? What was your most significant accomplishment? What do you consider to be your greatest success?


No matter how it’s asked, you should be ready with a reply. Interviewers want to hear about something important that you handled. Pick an achievement that is significant to you and that is rich in detail. These two qualities will make it easy to provide examples, which is the main theme of this series.


In this episode, we’ll be listening to a bad and good version of a recent graduate discussing his greatest accomplishment. We’ll focus on language for providing examples of the positive personal characteristics that our previous success demonstrates. Then, in Part 2 of this series, we’ll hear another good example of someone with more job experience, and we’ll examine a four-part structure for telling our success stories.


First, let’s quickly review the bad example. We’ll go back to Alexander’s interview with Michael in the electronics store. As you listen, consider the following questions. Then we’ll examine the answers in the debrief 4.


Listening Questions: (Bad Example)

1) Does Alex put his success into an organized, articulate story?

2) Does he present his accomplishment in a way that provides examples of skills and qualities that will be useful at his new job?
