Solve a Problem
To solve a problem it takes a creative way to solve that problem. There is a process to solving any problem in a creative manner and the creative process has four stages: 1) searching for the challenge, 2) expressing the problem, 3) investigating the problem, and 4) producing the idea (Ruggiero, 2009). The first stage in the creative process is to search for a possible challenge and this entails either an obvious problem or a not so obvious problem, which is one that will be the focus. In the second stage, one begins to express the problem, but must take into consideration all perspectives in the expressing of it. Within the third stage, one must gather any necessary information that will help effectively deal with the issue. Finally, in the fourth stage, one must create as many ideas as possible to discover which idea is the best to work out the problem and solve the problem. By using these four stages of the creative process, they will assist me in working though a present personal challenge in my life, the search for employment.
After analyzing the 4 stages of the creative process I found being creative means more than having certain traits. It means behaving creatively, addressing the challenges we encounter with imagination and originality to set us apart from others. The first stage, searching for challenges, discusses creativity meeting the challenge in an imaginative, original, and effective way. For example, while being new back in to the workforce world from almost 4 years out being out of it, I had to learn how to apply for not only civilian employment positions but also government employment positions. Knowing my military service had strong ties to the area of work in which I am looking for, for example administration along with my previous experience, I have to creatively tailor my job search, resume, and interviewing skills to meet what employers are
