Sample answer
“In my internship at a marketing agency, I managed a website redesign project. The main challenge was aligning stakeholders' varied expectations. I organized weekly meetings to ensure clear communication and used project management software to track progress. As a result, we completed the project one week ahead of schedule, leading to a 20% increase in user engagement post-launch.”
