Tell me about a time when you received criticism from your manager. How did you react?

This question is another way for an interviewer to ask you what your weaknesses may be. When you are thinking about examples of criticism, it's best to show that you want to grow as an employee and that you can handle constructive criticism professionally. Feedback from a manager helps you learn and improve the quality of your work. Give examples that would not make you exempt from the role. For instance, if you are interviewing to be a barista, you do not want to mention that your manager said you were terrible at interacting with customers!

"In my most recent performance review, my manager asked me to be a bit less chatty with the customers. I understand that we need to speed up the line, especially at peak times like in the mornings. With that said, they also appreciate the fact that I remember customers' names and work to make a genuine connection with them. I now continue to be my friendly self, but I am better at moving the line along."
