Read first: a sample answer

Fictional sample answer written by JoRoute to show the shape of a strong answer. Do not copy it: replace every detail with what is true for you.

In 2022 I had to match 300,000 customer records from two systems, and Excel kept crashing. I learned enough Python and the pandas library in one week, using a free course and our team's examples. I wrote a script that matched records by email and postcode and flagged 2% for manual review. After I wrote the script, the matching time fell from three days to four minutes, and I delivered the migration on time. I still use Python every week.

Use only details that are true for you. The benchmark below is fictional.
