QUESTION 15 OF 40

Tell me about the last time someone at work gave you some unsolicited feedback.

Your interviewer is curious about how driven you are to improve in your work, and whether you take advantage of the feedback you receive to do so. Ideally, they are looking to recruit those driven and ambitious individuals who actively seek out feedback before it comes to them. As opposed to a candidate who feels receiving no feedback equates to no news being good news. The important thing here is to showcase that anytime you receive feedback, you are gracious, take time to learn what you can about it, and make every effort to improve.

"The last time I was being a bit too social at work talking with some of my favorite coworkers since we hadn't worked the same shift for a while and all had some exciting few weeks. So we were pretty excited to work with each other and to catch up and were just having too much fun. We let our enthusiasm slow down our productivity, though. Our supervisor said our attitude and enthusiasm were great for morale, but focusing a little more on our pace would make all the difference. I knew this and knew they were right and immediately owned it and picked up the pace. This isn't something that happens often, and normally I excel at coming in ahead of all of my deadlines. But, I was grateful for the feedback and to get my eye back on the ball and help drive the rest of our teams to success."
