# Internship interview answers

## Choose the incident that answers this question

Fictional preparation notes: a student has four experiences. The strongest story depends on what the interviewer asks, not which achievement sounds biggest.

### Match the question to a decision you can explain

| Experience | Useful for | Detail to prepare |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Corrected a double booking | Judgment or coordination | How you checked which commitment to change |
| Learned a spreadsheet function | Learning a new method | How you tested it against a manual calculation |
| Revised a presentation after criticism | Responding to feedback | The specific criticism and the change you made |
| Missed an internal deadline | A mistake or setback | Your responsibility, the consequence and the correction |

## Your turn

For ‘Tell me about feedback that changed your work,’ which story would you choose? What would you need to know before answering?

## Your answer

## For your own application

Give each real incident two questions it can answer and one it cannot. Rehearse from those notes, not a script that forces every question into the same success story.
