"I was instructed to create some presentations for our events. After my manager reviewed my work, some of the slides required an additional copy, and he had different design concepts in mind. He had a background in graphic design, and since I do not, I listened to his ideas and incorporated them. I thought they looked very professional and in the following presentations, I tried to include those design concepts."

If possible, select a time from your past when you received criticism and responded positively. It is ok to be honest about any discomfort you experienced as long as you demonstrate that you handled it professionally. Finally, end your response by describing the steps you took to improve, or what you learned from the experience. This will show your Suncor interviewer that you're willing to adjust and improve the quality of your work as feedback is provided.

"I received feedback from my manager last year that several members of my team were confused about their career path options. We had experienced a high rate of turnover and I realized I had focused more on filling open spots than retaining the employees who had been loyal. I immediately scheduled one-on-one meetings with all of my employees to discuss their goals and options. I also developed a mentoring and shadowing program to help junior engineers learn more about various paths. My manager was pleased with the actions I took and I am grateful that he shared the feedback with me. You can be assured I am ready to use what I learned through that experience here at Suncor."
