How would you handle a colleague rejecting an idea you pitched?

"I would feel a bit disappointed, given my experience in anesthesia care, but I would ask for feedback on my idea and be grateful for the feedback. Working closely with different teams of surgeons and other physicians takes a true team effort that is built on trust and respect. I wouldn't let a situation like this hurt my pride or confidence in my work but would rather use it as a learning tool."

In a situation like this, it is important to get feedback from your colleague and learn why your idea wasn't accepted. Talk to your interviewer about your ability to process this feedback, and explain how you would use that feedback to move forward.
