Sample answer
“While working as an intern at AXA Singapore, I assessed a claim involving a complicated motor vehicle accident. I reviewed police reports, collected statements from involved parties, and evaluated the policy details. I used our claims management software to track the progress and ensure compliance. After thorough analysis, I recommended approval of the claim, which was later validated by my supervisor.
