Question 1 of 30

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

Most organizations prefer to hire candidates who can apply creative thinking when needed, but can also follow protocol and guidelines. If you lean a little more towards one or the other in regard to your skills or personal preference, share that. Doing so could help them place you within their teams, according to your talents, with clear indicators on how to motivate you in your work. However, assure the interviewer that you are an individual who can strike a balance between both.
