Sample answer
“In my internship at Telstra, I analyzed customer feedback data to identify trends in service satisfaction. I used Excel to clean and visualize the data, discovering that response times were a key pain point. By presenting these findings, we implemented a new customer service protocol, which improved satisfaction scores by 15% within three months. This project taught me the importance of translating data into actionable insights.”
