Sample answer
“In my internship at a local startup, I built a responsive web application for a food delivery service. I used HTML5 for the structure, CSS3 for styling, and JavaScript for interactivity, allowing users to filter restaurants by cuisine. A challenge was ensuring cross-browser compatibility, which I solved by testing extensively on different browsers. The project received positive feedback for its clean design and user-friendly interface.”
