This is important for them to know how you play your cards in an organization. Moreover, it is also an evaluation of your traits and character letting them have an open look at how you’d react with people with different traits. Remember, a company is composed of several teams working together where every element has its own important function.

10. How do you react to criticism? Many times in your career, you’ll meet people who’d say you’re not good enough for your job. How would you react if you’d encounter this situation? Are you going to take what they say personally? Would you be discouraged and quit the job? Are you going to take revenge and ruin the credibility of the person or are you going to check yourself if he or she may have a point? You don’t need much intelligence to know the right answer. When someone says you’re doing your job the wrong way, it is always advisable to stay objective and assess the purpose of the person. If he or she doesn’t mean any harm, even if it hurts you, evaluate the truthfulness of what he or she says. Oftentimes, we don’t see our mistakes at work while others see it crystal clear. So, if someone criticizes you or your work, take it positively. More than flattering praises, criticisms can improve you into a better person. Next>>
