When you receive feedback or criticism of your work, how does that impact you?

From their Core Values: "Respect: Treat others as they would like to be treated. Seek out the best in others. Actively listen, encourage feedback, and choose the best way and time to deliver meaningful information. Deal with conflicts quickly and directly. Assume positive intent in others."

This question evaluates your emotional intelligence and how you apply such lessons to shoring up your success in the future. Your answer will attest to your capacity to learn and grow. Any career-minded professional will learn to take feedback in stride, constructive or negative, and glean the lessons they can from such experiences. Showcase your confidence and emotional maturity by exhibiting the right attitude. Having the right attitude in life will allow you to take criticism positively, even when it is unsolicited and even when delivered in a less friendly, harder-to-absorb manner.

"Last year, I received a low grade on a chemistry project. When I approached my professor about the low grade, he said, 'You can do better. I expected more from you.' I was taken aback at first, but once I had time to absorb what was said, I realized that he expected more from me because he had high expectations of what I could do. It was a compliment and a challenge rolled into one! I re-did the assignment with more passion the second time around. My grade improved significantly, and I thanked that professor for holding me to a higher standard."
