The Interview Question

"Mia, could you describe a time when an unconventional action of yours was met with praise or misunderstanding?"

The Evaluation Criteria

"We're looking to gauge the extent of creativity in the process of finding solutions," Ms. Garrett explained, poised to take notes.

The Light Novel Dialogue

Mia leaned forward, her mind racing through her memories. "Certainly! During my last project, I noticed that our approach to user interface design was too conventional and not user-friendly. So, I took a gamble and integrated some elements from video games into the design without prior approval."

"And how was that received?" Mr. Kline inquired, his tone unreadable.

"To my team's surprise, it increased user engagement significantly. Our clients loved the innovative approach, though my team initially thought I was goofing around and almost reversed the changes. It was a risk, but one that paid off with praise and a client's commendation," Mia recounted with a spark in her eye.

Ms. Garrett chuckled. "That’s quite the gamble. It shows you're not afraid to think outside the box, which is what we need here at CreatiTech."

Closing

As the interview wrapped up, Mia felt a mix of relief and satisfaction. She had demonstrated her creative flair, showing that sometimes the unconventional path could lead to extraordinary destinations.
