How do you respond to feedback?

I was asked for my own thoughts this week, and unfortunately for my interviewer, my review wasn’t positive. It was also responded to with denial, stubbornness and defense.

Does this response help me feel better about being honest? No.

Do I think my comments were taken on board? No, not judging by the emotional response.

Do I have any faith that things will change in the short term? No.

Or am I looking at this in the wrong way – am I just not a good fit? Perhaps what’s on offer just wasn’t for me, so the response from my interviewer was justified – I just didn’t get it, and its not ‘all about me’.

Would love to know your thoughts, and any experiences you’ve had on giving or receiving feedback.
