Can you Describe a Time When your Work was Criticized?
At some stage or another we always have to accept some form of criticism whether we agree with it or not. Its how you deal with that criticism that matters.
Explain to your interviewer what you were criticized for. Did you agree? Be diplomatic, you do not want to come across as being arrogant. No ones work can be perfect all of the time, therefore accept that this once something was not up to scratch but explain the reasons why on this particular occasion.
If you can view criticism as a learning curve then this will serve you well. Try and think why your work has been criticized, are they right to critise your work? If yes then its simple you know where you went wrong.If not then this is where you need to think carefully about the reasons behind your work being criticised to ensure that next time this won’t happen.
Be calm, don’t over react, try and give your self time to digest the information and learn from it.
Good luck.

This is difficult to answer, again i havent really had any criticism in the general sense, i could give a couple of examples where something was pointed out (nicely) and i responded (nicely) thanking them for pointing it out and making notes where necessary to avoid it again
