When was the last occasion you asked for direct feedback from your manager?

Requesting feedback from the people you work with demonstrates your desire to improve. Most employees avoid receiving feedback, fearing that it will be negative. By actively seeking it, you demonstrate both courage. A willingness to be open to criticism and initiative to improve. A good way to respond to this is to describe a time when you felt you didn't complete a task properly, and you sought feedback to correct your process so you'd do better next time.

"I have found that one of the best ways to improve myself is to continually seek feedback from the people I work with. Both my colleagues and my management team have perspectives that I don't and can spot weaknesses that I need to work on to improve. Therefore, I am constantly asking them about my performance, any suggestions they have, and resources I can use to improve my skills and expertise. I do this continuously, and it has been very valuable."
