The interviewer wants to know what value you place on feedback, how it affects you emotionally, and if you implement an immediate change or prioritize a course correction. In the consulting space, you're continually putting yourself in vulnerable situations. Sometimes your recommendations and findings may not be welcomed or understood. Being open and receptive to feedback is desirable, especially when applied to professional growth. When delivering your answer, show your interviewer that you ask for feedback often, actively listen to the input openly, and communicate nondefensively. Taking what you know to be important and leaving the rest while not taking the feedback personally exhibits an ability to recognize and seize presented opportunities to implement positive growth.

"I ask for feedback every month from one of my toughest-to-please managers. Her feedback is accurate, and I trust it. Once she tells me what I could try doing differently, I will take the time to research and plan how I can implement the change. This practice has helped me grow in my career significantly."

"At the end of every project, I will give my clients and their team a survey focused specifically on my service, knowledge base, and if they felt they received the value from me that they expected. The feedback is blind, but I take every bit of it as though it came from the company's CEO. I analyze the comments for common denominators as well. If the feedback is consistent, I create a learning plan based around that common piece of feedback."
