This question is an opportunity to showcase your emotional intelligence and how you take ownership of your professional development. Some consider no news good news and prefer not to rock the boat. Others seek out feedback to continually develop their skills and are driven to further their careers. Your response will help them assess whether you respond defensively or objectify the information you receive and separate it from the person delivering the feedback. It will inform them of your attitude and approach to your professional self-improvement and team mentality.

"Even though it can be difficult to hear criticism, I always pause before I respond and take time to think about it first. If it catches me by surprise, I usually ask if my supervisor can clarify or explain. I want to grow and improve, so the more specific my supervisor can be, the more helpful it is."

I like receiving feedback from my employer or Team Leader because it allows me to better understand where I need to improve.
Lauren's Feedback
Great start, but make sure you answer the question with a specific way you like to recieve feedback.
I like receiving verbal feedback on a weekly basis from my Team Leader because it allows me to take self-inventory of my progress and understand areas of desired improvement.

Marcie's Feedback
Nice. The interviewer will be happy to hear that you view feedback as an opportunity to learn and improve. It's great that you mention specifically that feedback helps you to make changes so you can serve the clients better. If there's an example you can provide of a time when you received feedback that you were able to put into practice that benefited others, don't hesitate to include that to further strengthen your answer.
