QUESTION 2 OF 35

Do you consider yourself a creative thinker in the workplace or do you prefer to follow a predetermined set of rules?

The aim of this question is to reveal whether you are the type of employee who prefers the status quo, or if you are the type of employee who looks forward to opportunities to step outside of your comfort zone. Most organizations prefer to hire candidates who can apply creative thinking when needed, but can also follow protocol and guidelines. Assure the interviewer that you are an individual who can achieve both.

"In the workplace, I naturally lean towards my preference of straightforward rules and expectations. From there, once I am comfortable in my knowledge base, I can start to think outside of the box. So - to answer your question - I would say I bring a healthy balance of both."

"I am most comfortable when my creativity is challenged. I like to think of new ways of working and creating alternate solutions to a variety of scenarios. With that said, I am more than capable of following a predetermined set of rules."
