Would you consider yourself a creative person?
"I think that everyone's creative to some degree. It really just depends on what kind of environment or context someone can be creative in. Someone people are inventors, some people are artists or poets. Me, I'm very creative when it comes to solving problems for customers. I look at the constraints I'm given and find solutions within those constraints. For instance, a customer might really want to smoke. Now, we can't let him smoke on the plane. So I have to figure out what's making him get that urge. Maybe there's something we can for him to take his mind off of smoking, like giving him something to munch on or suggesting an exciting movie to distract him."

"I do consider myself to be a creative individual. One example of this would be the telephone sales scripts that I crafted for our inside sales team. They were lively and effective, and sales increased by 23% in the first 90 days of implementation."

Absolutely! I thrive when I am able to create something with my hands and hard work. My hobby is refinishing furniture. I love taking something old and bringing new life to it.
