Tell me about a time when you had to handle criticism.
Sample Answer
Employers want to see maturity and openness to feedback. A strong answer should highlight listening, reflection, and improvement. Example: At Eduinq, a senior colleague pointed out inconsistencies in my MCQ formatting. Instead of being defensive, I thanked them, reviewed the feedback, and corrected the errors. I also created a checklist to avoid similar mistakes. Handling criticism requires humility, openness, and a growth mindset. I believe feedback is an opportunity to improve and strengthen professional credibility.
