      1st Answer Example

      "I was looking at year-over-year data and noticed a huge increase in claims for heart-related incidents in March and April. I did a bit of research on the demographics of the patients in the 45 and under category, and it was an unusually high number of women. I pulled in our community relations team, and they started asking more questions at community engagement events. The stress and anxiety levels of women in that age bracket were very high. After showing my leader this data, she worked with the leader of the community relations to provide more outreach and education to women in this group. Our efforts resulted in a smaller number of claims the following year."

      "Once a week, I run an SAP report of open and in transit purchase orders. I download the report into an excel spreadsheet and enter a VLookup function that links to the previous report.
