Sample answer
“At my internship with a local retail company, I analyzed customer purchase data using Excel. I found that customers who received follow-up emails after purchases had a 20% higher retention rate. I recommended implementing a targeted email campaign based on this insight, which resulted in a 15% increase in repeat customers over three months. This taught me the value of data-driven decision-making.”
