Along with your previous experience, your greatest accomplishment 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?
談到了工作經驗，你所取得的成就也是如何面試中肯定會談到的內容。問題會以不同形式出現:最讓你驕傲的成就是什麼？你最重要的成就是什麼？你認爲什麼事是你取得的最大成就？

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.
無論問題怎麼問，你應該準備好回答。面試官想聽些你說的重要內容，列舉成就對你很重要，而且要詳細地列舉。這兩項會使你舉例子時很輕鬆。也是系列課程的主要話題。

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.
這節課中，你會聽到一個剛畢業的學生談論他取得的最偉大成就。我們會重點看下到能反應積極的個性的舉例子的語言。

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.
首先，一起來回顧下做得不好的例子。Alexander剛取得哲學碩士學位，他正接受一家電子商店經理助理的面試。聽錄音時，考慮以下的問題，我們在聽取彙報時會檢查答案。

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?
