Outside of work, what type of creative activities do you pursue?
Wayfair seeks creative people for their teams, no matter the department or role you are applying to. The interviewer would like to know how you express your creativity outside of the workplace. A genuinely creative-minded person will have outside activities aside from what's happening in the workplace. Tell the interviewer about the variety of ways in which you express your creativity.
"I have a lot of energy, so I like to bring out my creative side on the weekends by attending local art events, going to the theater, or trying a new paint and sip class. I look forward to bringing this creative energy to Wayfair."
"As an avid reader, I also explore writing. Cooking is also art for me, and I try to incorporate creativity into the fun meals I prepare for family and friends. In fact, a lot of my kitchen goods are from Wayfair! I am addicted to your kitchen section."

I love spending time with kids and brainstorming with them. We're of like minds; we love to optimize everything and ideate on everything, so most weekends we try out something fun like hiking, exploring our local library, or just drawing random stuff on the whiteboard. The other day we put out a lemonade stand for people driving by while also trying to sell the crochet that the moms took over 40 hours to make for 2.
