Use the STAR method to describe a specific situation where you proactively sought feedback from a manager or senior leader. Highlight the trigger (e.g., a project milestone, a skill gap, or a desire to improve) and the actions you took to request and act on the feedback. Emphasize the outcome, including how the feedback helped you grow and contributed to team or project success.
Pro tip: Show that you not only sought feedback but also closed the loop by sharing how you applied it and the results. This demonstrates accountability and a growth mindset, which are highly valued at Meta.
Briefly describe your role, the project, and the situation that prompted you to seek feedback. Explain why you felt the need for direct input from a manager or senior leader.
Detail how you proactively requested feedback—e.g., scheduled a meeting, asked specific questions, or sought input on a particular aspect of your work. Show initiative and professionalism.
Summarize the key feedback you received, focusing on actionable insights. Avoid sharing negative or overly personal details; keep it constructive.
Describe the steps you took to implement the feedback, such as adjusting your approach, acquiring new skills, or changing your communication style.
Conclude with the positive results: improved performance, successful project delivery, stronger relationships, or personal growth. Quantify if possible.
