Rachelle's Feedback
This response could have more impact as I'm not sure where 'work on creativity' would come into play. I have added an example, below.
"I am a great problem solver because I can compartmentalize all aspects of a problem, carefully making decisions. I also like to survey team members that I look up to, ensuring that we are all on the same page before a decision is made. When it comes to problem-solving, I like to be creative and tap into the resources available to me."
