When reacting to criticism, the first step is to explain what was stated. Check that you comprehend what has been said to you. Then, recognize the other person's viewpoint. Accept their comments if you believe it is sensible and reasonable. Finally, respond with your own views. When you are being interviewed for a job, it is important to show that you are a responsible individual. This shows that you can be trusted with money matters and other important issues. Therefore, prove that you can handle critical comments by showing that you can accept them constructively. This means that you should listen to the criticise but don't let it get you down. Stay positive and focus on what you want to achieve. Finally, remember that interviews are usually only one part of the hiring process. Even if you have shown through previous experience or in this case, criticism, that you can cope well with stress, don't worry about negative comments made during the interview process. Focus instead on what you have achieved thus far and what you will do next time it comes up.
