Sample answer
“At my previous internship at Capgemini, a user reported that they couldn't access their email. I first asked specific questions to understand the situation better. After confirming it was a password issue, I guided them through the password reset process while ensuring they felt comfortable. Eventually, the user was able to access their email, and they appreciated my patience and support. This experience taught me the value of clear communication in support roles.”
