Statement Addressing the Selection Criteria
I have recently worked as a trainee and an intern to a consultancy firm where sometimes I
was tasked at assisting in organizing meetings which are somehow similar responsibilities that
have been listed in the advertised work (Lestari, Sukarsa, & Purnawan, 2017). Additionally, my
responsibility has been to participate in research background information as well as taking
minutes.
In my past experience, I happened to have performed general duties which include
handling telephone inquiries and greeting visitors (Martin, 2017).
To foster innovativeness, I will be looking forward to introducing teamwork and
apparently sharing of ideas among the workers to earnest different skills (de Boer, 2017).
One of the collaborative work arrangements I will use to foster innovativeness will be to
allow and maintain an open dialogue between various employees as well as upper management.
Apparently, this will effectively motivate and foster employee’s innovativeness (Bennouna,
Mansourian, & Stark, 2017).
One of the mina changes that would be made to the physical environment to activate
innovativeness is to encourage play. This might be in the form of pool playing. This is often
tippled to activate active mindset for innovativeness (Bacic, 2017).
To maximize the available opportunities for innovativeness and creativeness, I would
prefer to balance both the current and future needs of the clients. This will be in the form of
delivering what the customers expect of me on a daily basis. This will help me to plan for the
future and understand well the expectations of the customers.
I intend to accept both advice as well as support despite different vices that may lead to
misunderstanding if it is not checked at the right time (Iturriza et al., 2017). I will as well ask for

a suggestion from the colleagues and support any idea that is sound with an intention of helping
the team members or even make rather informed changes.
I will consider investing in rather innovative methodologies that entails creative practices
as well as a systematic approach to innovation. I will as well consider reviewing some creative
and innovative methodologies in outlaying the available resources to the working environment
(Srivastava, 2017).
To encourage innovativeness and a positive relationship among my colleagues, I will
make sure I encourage a sense of belonging where one can feel connected to others with an aim
of fulfilling a basic need for belonging. Apparently, I will create room for the creation of a
positive friendship as well as positive interactions at the workplace to foster engagement (Giri et
al., 2017).
