Criticize is the best part to improve our self if you take it as a positive move because if you don't understand yourself you can't get success in any field.

I am an optimistic person. There was situations where in the earlier stages of my career I was criticized for the mistakes I made. But I took it as a constructive feedback, learnt to do the job better the next time. When I joined as a customer service executive in Cochin International Airport fresh from college, I found my job a bit confusing.

Because there was different system for different airline. So while checking the documents of the passengers I sometimes failed to check the documents properly before the went it the immigration I was criticized for the mistake. But I quickly learnt and perfected the job. Later I became the team leader and gave training to the new comers.

I have always tried to do job perfect but sometimes I done mistakes. I appreciate constructive criticism and feedback especially who may have a more experience than I do. Also, I like to improve myself and not to repeat mistake in future.

To err is human. Criticism should be taken positively but some criticise out of jealousy because nowadays politics has crept in all organisation.

Criticism to me is one way to improve myself from a mistake, this gives lesson for us to correct things. I try to see criticism as an opportunity to improve my work.

Constructive criticism is an important part of professional growth, and this is a good chance to show your employer you are striving to be the best and are open to improvement. Even though receiving criticism is going to feel lousy, show the interviewer that you are happy to put your ego to one side, and that you listen to and act upon feedback and advice.

If you don't use criticism as an agent for change when it happens, then those vicious teeth of criticism will just keep biting and biting into perfection.

Mohan,

In fact, without criticism what ever the work we have done might think that it is correct, but if someone criticizes that then we might think where we did wrong from there onwards will learn.

I am very positive about constructive criticism, it is a leeway to work smart. My supervisor once criticized my reports to be too detailed he wanted more summarized one for he had very little time to read reports since they were many at his table from different inspectors.
