How to Answer the Tell Me About a Time You Received Feedback Question
Description
Receiving critical feedback in an interview can feel like a trap — but it's actually one of the most revealing questions hiring managers ask. In this episode of Interview Prep with Fexingo, Lucas and Luna break down the Tell Me About a Time You Received Feedback question with a real-world case: a supply chain analyst who was told her weekly reports were too dense. They walk through the STAR structure tailored for this specific scenario — Situation, Task, Action, Result — and explain why the best answers show emotional agility, not just process improvement. Lucas shares why interviewers are listening for how you react in the moment, not just what you did afterward. Luna offers a counterpoint on choosing the right example: one that's meaningful but not a career crisis. They also discuss the difference between feedback on technical work versus interpersonal behavior, and why the latter carries more weight. By the end, listeners will have a clear template they can adapt to their own experience — and a better understanding of why this question separates prepared candidates from truly self-aware ones.
