“Describe a situation when your work was criticized and how you responded.”<\/p>

Behavioral interview questions can be some of the hardest interview questions to answer, much less to perfect.<\/p>

Often times, there is no right or wrong answer.<\/p>

“If there is no right or wrong answer,”<\/em> you might ask, “does it even matter how I respond?”<\/em><\/p>

Yes, it does matter.<\/p>

When you get asked this question during an interview, keep in mind two important factors as you craft your reply:<\/p>

  1. How you frame your answer<\/li>
  2. What you learned from the experience <\/li><\/ol>

    When being asked to describe a situation when your work was criticized, there are a few key points to emphasize as well as some obvious mistakes to avoid.<\/p>

    First, it might help to understand the reason behind this interview question.<\/p>

    Why Am I Being Asked This Question?<\/h2>

    With some interview questions, such as “What is your salary history?<\/a>” the secret is to avoid answering first.<\/p>

    That is not <\/em>the secret ingredient in this case.<\/p>

    When asked to describe a time when your work was criticized, believe it or not, you should answer this question with an honest critique that someone made about your work<\/em>.<\/p>

    (Whether it was a valid critique or not is another topic altogether.)<\/p>

    The employer is hoping to judge your ability to handle criticism<\/strong>.<\/p>

    This is not the venue to vent your frustrations about being falsely accused or taking the rap for someone else’s mistakes.<\/p>
