"Yes, in my internship I was tasked with taking a data export file with 65,000 rows and summarizing by customer type. Utilizing Excel skills I developed in school, I first filtered the data on the required population. I then created a pivot table that allowed me to summarize the data according to the criteria. As technology continues to advance, I understand that it is expected that I can work with Big Data and I feel very comfortable doing so."
