Sample answer
“In my internship at Accenture, I worked on migrating a client's on-premises application to Azure. My role involved configuring Azure resources and ensuring data integrity during the migration. We faced challenges related to downtime, but by implementing a phased migration strategy, we reduced system outages by 75%. The project resulted in a 30% cost reduction for the client, and I gained valuable Azure skills that I am eager to apply as a Junior Cloud Consultant.”
