      Answer Example

      "My current position requires a lot of financial responsibilities, and luckily I took a finance course in college! I have learned a lot about tracking budgets and expenses. Since I took on financial oversight tasks in January, our team has remained within budget for every project. This is an accomplishment that I am proud of since it speaks directly to my detailed approach and ability to maintain numerous financial spreadsheets. I use Excel for some budgetary tasks, but I perform most budget-related tasks in Workday. The Workday platform helps me with budgeting, planning, and modeling. Similar to Excel, the program streamlines my planning process and allows me to extract and share strategic financial insights."
