How do you receive feedback?
Anonymous
BACKGROUND: New engineers have a lot to learn and become familiar with during their first couple months. Your work will be reviewed and heavily edited by an engineering "checker" and that person will write 3-6 pages of feedback that notes all of the problems with your work, and the reasoning behind the changes that need to be made. It can be tough to spend so much time and effort, then be shown how wrong you are. You want the interviewer to understand that you won't be so proud as to assume that you can do the job perfectly right off the bat, and that you are willing to receive (a lot of) constructive criticism. MY ANSWER: "I absolutely need feedback from people who are more familiar with the work I do. I don't think you can really learn anything, or improve yourself, if you don't even know what you don't know. I could make the same error a hundred times if I don't know that it's an error, and while I certainly try to recognize flaws in my own work, it certainly helps to be given some guidance and direction by those who are more experienced.
