Sample answer
“In my internship at a local company, I worked on a project to create a document management system using SharePoint. The requirement was to streamline document sharing among teams. I conducted interviews with users to gather requirements and implemented a solution that used SharePoint libraries and workflows. We faced challenges with user adoption, but after conducting training sessions and integrating feedback, we increased usage by 40% within three months.”
