<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">As
a publicist, one of the challenges of my job is to think of unique ideas to
promote my client or product. There was one publicity campaign I handled for a
product that we called a ‘real knock out.’ I purchased hundreds of key chains with
small boxing gloves attached and sent them as part of the press kit to radio
and television studios. It was unique, so it drew attention and got great
results for my client.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

was given the challenging task of continuing our community educational
programs, but with a more limited budget than in previous years. The first
thing I did was to apply for grant money. Then I put together an aggressive
volunteer program. Because of my ability to come up with new ideas, we were
able to continue our classes, seminars, and workshops in a seamless manner without
raising the costs of the classes.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">I’m
known for my ability to ‘think outside the box.’ I came up with an original
idea to raise funds for the police children’s annual toy drive. I contracted
with the local movie theatre to give a free movie ticket to every person who
brought in a toy over the cost of $5. The results were like none we’ve ever had
before. We had a record contribution, and the donors received a gift in return.
It was a very successful year.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">It
was when I was a student. I used a unique way to get around campus and the
city; I roller-skate everywhere. Figured I was getting more exercise skating
than I would get walking. I didn’t have time to exercise, so I kept fit by using
this method to commute. I was also able to listen to my class tapes while I
skated. It was a great way to get around and study at the same time.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">The
unique part of this example is that I was able to lead a cross-functional team
in a company that had never used cross-functional teams before. As the lead
engineer I decided to try an experiment, and took people from various functions
and cross-trained them. We were able to do twice the design, testing, and
production in a shorter period and saved the company money in the process. It was
received well and is now a common practice at the company.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
