Sample answer
“During my internship at a local architectural firm in Milan, I was tasked with creating detailed drawings for a residential building project. I began by reviewing the architectural concepts provided by the lead architect and used AutoCAD to draft the plans. Despite initial challenges with the layout, I communicated regularly with the architect to ensure alignment. The final drawings were well-received, and the project was completed on time, showcasing my ability to translate concepts into effective designs.”
