    What are my achievements?
    I am a young graduate seeking for employment. How do I answer to "what are your achievements" since I have no prior experience?

    Tell them about everything else you've excelled at - sports, hobbies, etc - tell them about your interests and how far you've taken it - tell them about you're passion and what you HOPE to achieve in the future!

    Tell them... your... achievements?

    Either that, or start getting some experience. Anything will do...

    I wouldn't dig down as far as saying things like "I volunteered at a homeless shelter in high school"

    Interviewers can smell a bs-er from a mile away.

    Talk about extra curricular stuff in school.

    An interview is a selling job, you are selling yourself. So you want to present the advantages of "buying" you.

    Don't forget your academic achievements, you are a graduate after all.
