Where could you prove your creativity?

Bei meiner Arbeit bei einem schnell wachsenden Start-Up direkt nach dem Bachelor kam es viel darauf an, kurzfristige kreative Lösungen für operative Probleme zu finden, die sich bestmöglich in feste Prozesse gießen lassen. So konnte ich bspw. mit möglichst wenigen Schnittstellen ein Excel-Tool aufbauen, welches die Anlieferungsplanung für beide Seiten effizienter machte.

I can prove my creativity by showing different scenarios and solutions for a problem. During my bachelor studies in Spatial Planning i noticed that for every problem there is not just one solution. It is important to find strength and weaknesses, chances and risk of each solution and to discuss which solution fits the best. My creativity can help in the situation to find different solutions from different perspectives. 

In complexe problemen heb ik de nijging om de verschillende oplossingen te bedenken. De verschillende oplossingen kunnen bij mensen een gevoel opbrengen. Dat gevoel moet men gaan uiten in woorden. Op een gegeven moment ontstaan er raakvlakken tussen de oplossingen en ontstaat er een venndiagramm. We kunnen dan iets moois vinden waar we naartoe kunnen werken

In meinem ersten Praktikum in einem Start-up durfte ich interne Prozesse mitgestalten und für diese Anbieter und KPIs definieren. So habe ich ein CRM Tool aufgesetzt, ein System für unsere Ordnerstrukturen und Guidelines zum Auswählen neuer Praktikanten. 

I play the piano and i like creating songs by myself.

Creativity can be proven in problem structuring, brainstorming innovative solutions, and thinking beyond standard frameworks. For example, in a market entry case, instead of just expanding geographically, I could explore digital-first strategies, partnerships, or alternative revenue streams to create a unique competitive edge.

If I was thrown into a thrift store, I could assemble an outfit for every event or aspect of the day with barely any money.

I can prove my creativity whenever a complex challenge needs to be reframed from a fresh perspective to yield an original yet practical solution.

When working in a team together with my other case team members, where we have to find a creative solution for a specific case. it is often about teamwork. i find that i can prove my creativity, by learning from others

That’s again your chance to let your personality shine. Try to choose something, which highlights what kind of person you are. I would, of course, choose something which is acceptable in a work-place, but do not hold yourself back too much. By the end of the day, consultants are looking for the future colleagues with whom they will be locked up for lots of hours in a day, so letting your fun side out when this kind of question is asked, is not a bad idea.

In programming, I was able to prove my creativity every day by designing simple solutions that fulfilled the expectations of the clients while working very well and being clean and comprehensive in the coding. In studying mathematics and physics, the solution to every problem requires creativity and thinking around the corner.

When studying highly quantitative subjects such as - in my case - management science & mathematics, solving complicated mathematical problems by designing well thought and structured proofs often needs creativity since the perfect answer might not always come to your mind. Then you have to be creative to finds work-arounds.

Hi A,

I would recommend to feel free to demonstrate your creative thinking and approaches throughout the exercises you are set. Job-specific creative attitude might show how you would approach likely workplace scenarios. It is always good to be able to consider a situation in different ways to find out fresh non-standard solution.

Best,

Andre

When you have limited resources, you often need to be creative. 

I presented my company and products to a potential client. Their team invited me as a surprise and instructed me to talk for a few minutes and show the product.

A few hours before the presentation, they told me that it would be nice if they could taste the product too. I was not sufficiently prepare for that.

However, to provide something I supplemented with a product from a partnering company. 

Hello  , I remember during my first internship 

I was looking in the plant and realized there is no added value in one of the process , so I decided to eliminate this Non added value action through creating a small tool to bind two racks 

This small tool helped the operations , it was approved by safety , and it was valid to be applied , This was a very simple and creative produc that saved lot of time ==> And money by the end it reduced the time of the operation in two

I prove my creativity through my words and the initiatives I take to solve problems. 

In work: organizing and structuring events for co-workers

In life: planning stops  and activities for a road-trip, including different type of sports that we may not have done before

I would prove my creativity by mainly thinking outside the box, this means thinking of creative solutions to problems and implementing them in an efficient way.

I believe creativity also involves dealing with unforeseen events or challenges and having a solution oriented mindset.
