Customer service is essential in banking. Give me an example of a time when you provided excellent customer service.

      "I worked in a core analytic team as a data analyst. My responsibility was to support stakeholders' data analytics. When an intern called me to provide some cases for the stakeholder, she did not know what to start with and even could not tell me what her manager wanted. I took control of her laptop remotely and talked to her via phone. I used another desktop to run my program. I listened first; then I asked questions to figure out what kinds of analytics we needed. After a while, she was no longer nervous and had a better understanding of what to do and how to extract data from her internal system."
