Krista Wenz has been on thousands of interview panels hiring EMS professionals and firefighters for public and private agencies.

Nobody likes to be criticized, but criticism is valuable for self-improvement and growth. If you consider criticism to be feedback, you can learn where your weaknesses are and improve. In the construction industry, you must be thick-skinned and able to accept criticism. The interviewer wants to hear that you are tough, will take criticism well, and improve where needed. Describe how you handle criticism and turn it into a positive experience.

"Yes, I do take criticism well. I use criticism to improve my work. If someone criticizes my work, I want to learn how I can do a better job. I would rather be criticized and improve my weaknesses than produce mediocre work."
