Sample response
 I have several notable accomplishments in both my education
and my work experience. Probably the most notable
accomplishment was delivery of the mobile apps project during
my internship this past summer. I joined the tech development
team at a time when they were in the process of losing a team
member due to relocation. That team member was the lead for
the iOS version of the mobile app under development. Since I
had already developed two iOS apps and no one else on the team
had worked with iOS, I was asked to take the lead for the iOS
development and deployment, effectively half of the project.
This was outside the original scope of my internship, but
definitely mission critical. I was able to deliver the app on time
before completion of my internship and have deployed it to the
iTunes store. It has already received over 100 positive reviews
from customers. Would you like to see it?"
