Sample answer
“In my internship at a logistics company, I noticed that the order processing time was consistently delayed due to manual entry errors. I led a project to implement an automated data entry system, which reduced processing time by 30% and decreased errors by 50%. The team reported higher satisfaction levels with the new process, and it allowed us to handle 20% more orders per day.”
