How do you track feedback?

2 Choose your feedback methods

Once you have identified your feedback sources, you need to decide how to collect feedback from them. There are different methods you can use, such as surveys, ratings, comments, interviews, or tests. Each method has its own advantages and disadvantages. For example, surveys and ratings are easy to administer and quantify, but they may not capture the depth and context of feedback. Comments and interviews are more qualitative and personalized, but they may be subjective and inconsistent. Tests are objective and standardized, but they may not measure all the aspects of your performance or potential.

3 Organize your feedback data

After you have collected feedback from different sources and methods, you need to organize your feedback data in a way that makes sense to you. You can use various tools to help you store, sort, and filter your feedback data, such as spreadsheets, databases, or software applications. For example, you can use a spreadsheet to create a feedback matrix that shows the ratings and comments from different sources and methods for each interview question or skill. You can also use a database to store your feedback data in a structured and searchable format. You can also use a software application to automate the feedback collection and organization process, such as Feedback Loop or Feedback Panda.

4 Analyze your feedback patterns

Once you have organized your feedback data, you need to analyze your feedback patterns and identify your strengths and weaknesses. You can use various techniques to help you interpret and visualize your feedback data, such as charts, graphs, dashboards, or reports. For example, you can use a chart to compare your ratings and comments across different sources and methods for each interview question or skill. You can also use a graph to track your progress and trends over time for each interview question or skill. You can also use a dashboard to monitor your overall performance and improvement areas for each interview question or skill. You can also use a report to summarize your feedback data and highlight your key findings and action points.

5 Apply your feedback insights

The final step of tracking feedback is to apply your feedback insights and improve your interviewing skills. You can use various strategies to help you implement and evaluate your feedback insights, such as goals, plans, actions, or feedback loops. For example, you can use a goal to define what you want to achieve or improve in your interviewing skills. You can also use a plan to outline how you will achieve or improve your goal, such as the resources, activities, or timelines you will use. You can also use an action to execute your plan and practice your interviewing skills, such as the mock interviews, exercises, or feedback sessions you will do. You can also use a feedback loop to monitor your results and adjust your plan and action accordingly, such as the feedback sources, methods, and tools you will use.
