Sample answer
“At my previous internship, I discovered that users were unable to access certain reports due to permission settings. I analyzed the report settings and identified a misconfiguration in user profiles. After correcting the permissions, I communicated the change to the team, resulting in a 30% increase in report usage within a week. This taught me the importance of thorough testing and communication.”
