Sample answer
“At a previous internship, I was responsible for scheduling appointments for a busy salon. One day, we had a double-booking situation. I quickly reassured both clients and offered to provide complimentary treatments for the wait. I used our booking software to rearrange appointments while communicating transparently. As a result, both clients left happy, and we received positive reviews on our customer service.”
