When the judge yourself, if you include the type of the sharpest critics and evil? The attitude of self-critic can be beneficial but also detrimental impact. You need to be overcome.

When co-workers congratulated on promotion that you just received, you actually even say that the actual work done is far from enough. Or, the most simple, when you are far more attentive to reflect the lack of visible and ignore the extra. For example, a dull hair, puffy eyes, acne are many.

If your mind is often boarded by a negative view of yourself, then no wonder if the plans and the desire to end the extent of discourse. The reason is not other people or external reasons, but your own thoughts. Other people may just give advice. However, you argue, criticize yourself if want to get ahead.

Actually, self-critic would be beneficial if you also appreciate the successes ever achieved."Self-critic will be bad and makes us judge ourselves negatively if done excessively. It is best to be fair to yourself," explains psychologist, Ida Diantini Viatrie, MSI from the University of Malang, East Java.

A person tends to focus on the ugliness or weakness, because they do not want to be judged ugly by others. Therefore, he will always try to find it before anyone else knew.

"The problem is, whether our efforts to overcome it realistic or even redundant? If realistic, we can certainly accept ugliness as part of the self and trying to match their best. The excessive weakness is that if we reject it vigorously, so that even looks ridiculous," he continued.

How to cope
"Believe in yourself. Thank shortcomings are, and discover the advantages and our greatness. It would be better than furiously reject ugliness or weakness," advises Diantini.

Accepting yourself as it is also included to receive the achievements, not necessarily even modestly to humble yourself. It is reasonable attitude is actually not hard to do. So, there's no point in sabotaging yourself by being a critic is too sharp and wicked against themselves.

Indicate "Attitude" When Finding a Job

KOMPAS.com - Attitude had a large portion of the valuation department of human resources (HR) when selecting employees. Although technical skills are important, but without the attitude that good companies will think twice to accept the prospective employee.

HR sees attitude based on experience Rully divided into three terms. The first is dynamic.Are you a dynamic, and exudes the spirit? According Rully, this can be captured from his eyes. "From the eyes visible enthusiasm for work," said Rully.

A further factor is the preparation. If you are applying for a job, you should gather information about the company as much as possible. Why do you want to apply in this company, and what your target. Finally, large companies usually ask for the desired salary.

If you are classified as new graduates, Rully advised not to ask for higher salaries. Should do research first how the range of salaries with similar positions in other companies.Salary scale which you requested should still among the range of salaries in other companies. This is also true for those who have experienced. Although experienced in other companies, not necessarily someone will be suitable to work in new places.Therefore should follow the first salary range of the company.

"If you've proven to work fine, you can propose a reasonable salary increase," said Rully.

At the end of the interview, applicants will normally be given the opportunity to ask something to the interviewer. Unfortunately, many applicants who squander this opportunity. "In the interview, if the interviewer asks if you have any questions, you should ask it. Gali more information about the company," said Rully.

After the work achieved, do not forget to keep your attitude. According to experience Rully, usually during the period of one month to three months, new employees are still being respectful, keep the image, but after it started its own wishes. In fact, the attitude should still be retained as your selling points in a company that has entrusted you a job.

Fleas
The phenomenon of "fleas" are not recommended by Rully, because sometimes make a person become less good attitude. Fleas Rully is the term given to employees who work just so he does not idle. He did not really want to work at the company. These fleas usually move from one job to another every three to six months.

"Although fleas, you must keep the attitude to create a good reputation to get the job you want," added Rully. Reputation is important to keep your good name in any company. You may not realize when the companies that you singgahi is still the same group.

If you have been getting the job you want, attitude is important to make others comfortable working with you, so you can work with a longer period of time. The fighting spirit that you show during the interview, should be retained. Thus, when getting fed up with work, you can challenge yourself to continue to innovate and continue to be creative.
