Sample answer
“In my internship at AXA, I had to explain a life insurance policy to a client who was unfamiliar with the terms. I broke down the policy into simple components, using an analogy of a savings plan to illustrate how premiums work. The client appreciated the clarity and asked insightful questions, which allowed me to further clarify. This experience taught me the importance of tailoring my communication style to the client’s needs.”
