This HR expert's favorite job interview question was the one that initially stumped her.

In her 10-year career in HR, Holly Taylor has interviewed approximately 200 individuals.

The head of people at Public Digital, a London-based consultancy, strives to be innovative and equitable in the hiring process, including sending interview questions to job candidates in advance.

What is the most valuable piece of feedback you have received in your career?

According to Taylor, what she likes about it is that when they respond, it provides a clear understanding of their level of humility or vulnerability in their answer.

Reflecting on a critical piece of feedback received at a pivotal moment in their career, some individuals have discovered how to use criticism as a catalyst for growth and progress.

Taylor explains how they approached the feedback, how they changed, and the impact of that feedback.

While some individuals discuss their work or colleague interactions, others focus on their technical skills and how they have improved.

"Taylor says, "During my interviews with tech professionals, they would often admit to making mistakes while writing code.""

What specific feedback have you received in terms of areas you need to improve on?

While some candidates will highlight their strengths by discussing positive feedback they received about their skills.

Taylor believes that these responses can be equally enlightening: "There is no right or wrong answer. You gain valuable insights from the individual when they express this viewpoint."
