Communication Skills Worksheet: Feedback

Interview skills lesson 7: Giving and taking feedback · Set 102 · 40 questions

Tip (Kind, clear, useful): Giving: start with one good point, give one specific tip, talk about the work (not the person), speak soon and in private. Unhelpful: “That was bad”, mocking, only listing mistakes, comparing with others, bringing up old errors, vague praise only. Taking: “Thank you, I will work on that.” Ask for an example if unclear. Do not argue, sulk or hit back.
