Give Examples of Ideas you Have Had or Implemented
If you haven’t got any ideas then yes this is hard. However you need to break the question down and maybe re phrase, its not as scary as it first appears.
Try this:
What have you done in your past roles that has been new to the company? or what have you brought into the company that is a new idea?
Does that help? Think, what have you done?
For example – a receptionist in a new role just orders stationery from the same supplier because that’s what the company has always done. However notices that there is a better/cheaper supplier they could use that would cost less and be more efficient delivery wise so she introduces that to the company and it works well.
Or – Depending on your role have you had an idea which gets all the staff working together as a team, maybe an idea of a team building exercise to help with this?
No matter how small or insignificant you think something is, if you have implemented it or had a good idea about something this is what your interviewer is looking to hear about, it shows you have initiative and that you can think outside of just day to day duties. Good Luck.
This is quite difficult to answer if you havent got any examples. I couldnt give any examples of things from work, however, from outside of work (school, church) I could give an example or two. That hopefully would be allowed, of course i would explain why there were no examples from my employment – we dont actually get the chance to do it
Its difficult to find something else to say.
