Being able to accept feedback graciously is a highly valued skill, especially in the consulting space, where you are continually putting yourself in vulnerable situations, where your recommendations and findings may not always be welcomed or understood. The interviewer wants to know that you accept feedback well, but they also want to see that you see the value of implementing immediate change. Show the interviewer that you:
- Ask for feedback often
- Listen to the input openly
- Take what you know to be important, and leave the rest
- Do not take the feedback personally
- Can take corrective action to implement change

"I ask for feedback on a monthly basis 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 entire 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 CEO of the company. I analyze the comments for common denominators as well. If the feedback is consistent, I will create a learning plan based around that common piece of feedback."

I welcome feedback. This is why I love to work in teams. I believe we are all human and err occasionally. It is important to consider others' comments to learn from and improve. Without feedback, I would not grow as a professional. I also expect to schedule one on ones with my performance manager and direct supervisor monthly to review my performance as a senior consultant. I am all about constant growth.
Amanda's Feedback
I can sense your enthusiasm for professional growth in this response! However, you can more clearly answer the question by talking about a specific time you received feedback, how you responded to it, actions you took based on the feedback, and what the positive outcome was once you made changes. Using a specific example gives the interviewer a better idea of your ability to implement feedback in a real workplace setting.
