Interview question "Tell us about a time you received negative feedback" has hidden depths.
It's not just about weaknesses: It reveals how you react to criticism, assess your skills, and approach improvement.
Good answers: Acknowledge weakness, explain how you learned from it, and showcase growth.
Bad answers: Blame others, make excuses, dwell on the past mistake.
Tip: If you've never received major negative feedback, discuss seeking feedback for improvement.
