Professional Architect Interview Question:

Tell me what Factors Led to Your Biggest Success to Date?

Submitted by: Muhammad

This question serves several purposes. For one thing, it lets your interviewer see your skill level. It also allows them to see how you feel about your accomplishments. Whether you are excited about your past work or feel that you are capable of more, you don't want the interviewer to get the sense that you feel past projects were beneath you. Instead, speak with confidence about the project, but don't be afraid to explain what you learned and how much you are looking forward to applying your knowledge and experience to a bigger challenge.

This question also gives you the opportunity to show that you really understand the various factors that contribute to the success of a project. You might choose to highlight the importance of an innovative design, strong negotiation skills, detailed plans and schedules or effective and ongoing communication with the client and construction personnel. However you respond, be sure you include plenty of detail about the scope of the work, the problems that were overcome and how you achieved a successful outcome.
