It's one of the reasons I am so attracted to your organization."

I know that Eaton wants to improve the quality of life through power management technologies that are more reliant, efficient, safe, and sustainable in many parts of the world. One of the reasons I chose to be an engineer is to give back to the community and produce or provide safer technologies. This is why I am glad I contributed to restoring electrical grids after a blackout using deep reinforcement learning techniques through my research assistant position.

Amanda's Feedback

This is a great response that includes an example of how you put your values into action. You can improve your response by giving a bit more detail about the grid restoration project you completed, such as when/where the blackout occurred, how long it lasted, and what you did to specifically contribute to the restoration process.
