Most people do not like to be criticized. However, if you use criticism to improve your work, you will grow and be better at your job. The interviewer wants to hear that you can take criticism from others without becoming angry and defensive and use that feedback to learn. Describe how you handle criticism. Give an example of a time you have been criticized on the job and used it to improve your work.

Don't tell the interviewer that you do not like being criticized or that you become hostile or defensive when criticized. In the construction industry, your supervisor may critique your work and ask for it to be done to a higher standard. Instead of becoming mad, it is best to use that criticism as a learning experience. If you do not take criticism well, the interviewer may pass over you for another candidate who can handle criticism.

"Yes, I do take criticism well. While it is embarrassing to be criticized, I have learned that criticism is feedback that I can use. I enjoy feedback because I learn better and more efficient ways to do my job, and I am constantly improving as a Drywall Installer."
