Creativity
“What experience can you bring that involved
creativity?”
■“I pride myself on my ability to look at all aspects of a
problem. I have come up with some very original solutions
to problems that no one else seemed able to solve. I have
always been known for my ability to think ‘outside the box.’”
■“I have had a full range of experience in the film industry,
working with lighting and cameras. I have worked on last
minute deadlines where there were problems to solve, and
I solved them using lots of resourcefulness. I not only met
the deadlines and goals, but I thrived in those situtations. It
was when my creative juices were flowing at their best ”
■“My design and layout experience runs the full range from
producing newsletters to major publications. Every year for
the past four years I have received the award for the most
creative format for my newsletters.”
“Tell me about a time you used creativity in your
current (last) position?”
■“My latest project involves coordinating an ad campaign
for our company. I am working with an agency, but some of
the time I have found their ideas to be trite. I have jumped
in and offered some ‘off-the-wall’ ideas to get their juices
flowing. It has worked, and we are heading into the home
stretch on one of the most creative projects I have ever
seen at my company.”
■“My job is usually not very creative, since I’m working with
systems. But there was a project when I had to solve a
problem for a customer that was way out of the ordinary.
