"I have not had a supervisor criticize my work as a construction manager, but I have had work critiqued in the past. I worked as a stonemason apprentice, and my supervisor criticized my first attempt at building a rock wall. He said the wall was uneven and looked like a five-year-old made it. At first, I was embarrassed because he said that in front of the entire crew, and everyone laughed, but then I responded by using humor and said that my three-year-old could probably do a better job than me. The supervisor laughed and said he was joking with me but that I had room for improvement in choosing the correct rocks. I asked him to demonstrate what he meant because I wanted to do the best job possible. I view criticism as feedback which helps me improve in any role I am in."
