Focus on your efforts, not your importance. Instead of paying attention to how overqualified you may think you are, focus on your efforts. There is always room for improvement. • Accept criticism gracefully. If someone offers you feedback, don’t be quick to say, “Well, that person is stupid.” Their feedback is based on how they perceive you, which of course is likely to be different from how you perceive yourself. Be willing to evaluate criticism and consider whether you want to change your behavior.
