Answer Example
"The piece of work that I am most proud of is a project that I worked on a little over a year ago. My team was working with a local Christmas tree farm that was having trouble getting their trees to grow suddenly after having great production for so many years. The farm owners had tried everything and they were at risk of losing major contracts with several of their retail clients who bought and resold their trees. The farm had two different landscaping companies trying to resolve their issues without success. Our team went out and after performing testing, it was discovered that there was one small area of the farm that had rotted trees and it was affecting the soil of the land surrounding it. We were able to do several treatments with minerals and once those rotted trees were removed, the soil quality was improved immensely and the entire farm was able to thrive again."
