The question, "Describe a situation in which you have used a creative solution to solve a problem", is commonly asked in interviews for jobs or entrance into higher institutions of education.
Most of us feel challenged to come up with a fantastic answer! How did I alone save the world? But, employers and educators don't want the most fantastic story; instead, they want to hear (1) how you think about problems (2) how you initiate solutions to problems and (3) your skills with implementing the solution you came up with. It doesn't matter if your solution worked-- it's more about the process involved!
Some very simple examples:
A "problem" does not need to be a critical problem. It can be an ordinary, every day problem that occurs. The solution does not need to be complex. It needs to be logical, creative, or thinking.
People will need to be sure to include skills and abilities that they used to get the job done while there were unforeseen problems. They will, however, need to describe a situation within their own experience to answer the question.
