Describe a time when you felt proud There are many things that can give people a sense of pride. One of them is probably when you contribute to something and your efforts are appreciated. You feel appreciated and proud in these moments because you know that people realize your importance.
One of those events took place last month in my workplace. I work in a company that is quite big and it has several branches to you so sometimes when you receive big projects, the task is distributed among different teams. The team that I work with consists of five outstanding individuals who are competent at what they do. So last month we were given a task to complete and it was a special project because it would normally take us at least two weeks to do that but we were given seven days because it was urgent. So you can imagine that we worked under a lot of pressure to meet the deadline. For the next seven days we put extra effort stayed in the company working long hours, We were absolutely tired. But at the end we could in fact, finish the project in time.
The client was also very happy that we could do that and after that the manager of the company offered us a huge salary bonus and extra days off. She also mentioned how much he appreciated our contribution during the staff meeting in front of probably 50 people and that made me feel proud of myself and my job.
