			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>No matter what you do, there will always be people who would do anything to put you down. They will always look for your negative side. Backstabbers find satisfaction in spreading rumors about you and are only concerned with themselves and gaining power.  In every company, there is always an individual who enjoys torturing you. This is probably because they do not like your personality or they’re insecure. People who backstab other workers are those who want all the attention on them and find you as a competition. The best way to deal with these kinds of individuals is to relax and do not let the things they say about you, affect you emotionally. Below are other ways in coping up with backstabbers.</p>
<ol>
<li>Keep calm</li>
</ol>
<p>When you find out that someone is saying things behind your back do not confront them and pick a fight. The best way to handle this is to stay calm and do not let it affect your mood and the way you see yourself.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1390" title="calm" src="http://www.trabahophilippines.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/calm.jpg" alt="calm" width="216" height="144" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>2. Prove them wrong</p>
<p>If you hear that a co-worker says you are always lazy, prove him wrong. Go to work on time and even earlier than him. Be a better employee and do the tasks assigned to you.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1391" title="prove them wrong" src="http://www.trabahophilippines.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/prove-them-wrong-240x300.jpg" alt="prove them wrong" width="240" height="300" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>3. Establish a good relationship with other employees and the boss</p>
<p>It is good that you act nice around other employees so that you’ll gain sympathy from them and being close to the boss will prevent the backstabber from saying negative things about you.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1392" title="good relationship" src="http://www.trabahophilippines.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/good-relationship.jpg" alt="good relationship" width="200" height="157" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>4. Do not do the same</p>
<p>You should not start spreading rumors about the backstabber because it will not do you any good. It is better to keep silent and try to find out what he’s been saying about you.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1393" title="keep your mouth shut" src="http://www.trabahophilippines.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/keep-your-mouth-shut-200x300.jpg" alt="keep your mouth shut" width="200" height="300" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>5. Approach the backstabber</p>
<p>It is also advisable that you come up to the backstabber. Be confident when you ask questions but make sure to show the positive intent of your approach.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1394" title="approach the person" src="http://www.trabahophilippines.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/apprach-the-person-300x200.jpg" alt="approach the person" width="300" height="200" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>6. Think of a plan</p>
<p>If the backstabber gets to succeed in his plan, you can choose to leave and look for another company. Tell your boss and the other employees that you will be trying different opportunities that will suit your personality.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1395" title="thinking of a plan" src="http://www.trabahophilippines.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/thinking-of-a-plan-200x300.jpg" alt="thinking of a plan" width="200" height="300" /></p>
<p>It is very hard to work with people who always see the bad side of you. No matter how hard you try to prove them wrong, they will not stop putting you down. Backstabbers should not be the reason for you to give up but instead it should motivate you to keep going and continue being a better person.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Have you ever experienced entering a job for the first time and then along the way, you start to realize that it’s not for you? Everyone wants to enjoy what they are doing but this will not happen if you don’t choose the right career path. When you force yourself to stay in a company or job that you don’t like, you won’t be able to give your best because you are not interested with what the company asks you to do. People say that in order for you to be successful, you have to love your job. You also have to choose the best work that will fit your interests because you will be spending a lot of time working. You wouldn’t want to spend your whole life exerting effort on something you’re not fascinated with. So here are a few tips that can help you in order to know what career is right for you.</p>

<li>Discover your interests</li>
</ol>
<p>When looking for a job, you first have to know your interests and personality. There are a lot of online websites which can help you figure out your interests and will show you which jobs fit your character.  Once you’ve chosen probable careers, you can start researching about the company to find out a description of positions they offer, amount of salary and the current situation of their business. You can also talk to someone who’s working on the career you’ve chosen so you can know what to expect.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>2. Skills</p>
<p>Next thing that you should do is to discover your skills.</p>
<p>Once you already have an idea of what career you are going to take, take time to figure out your skills.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1369" title="skills" src="http://www.trabahophilippines.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/img2_1325269704.jpg" alt="skills" width="188" height="120" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>3. Develop your skills</p>
<p>There are times when you find out that the career you want to take up requires skills that you lack. In order to solve this problem, you can apply for temporary trainings. You can look for an ojt wherein you can learn new skills or engage in programs and activities that will enhance your capabilities.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1370" title="develop skills" src="http://www.trabahophilippines.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/images.jpg" alt="develop skills" width="264" height="191" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>4. Try working on your own</p>
<p>If you really can’t stay long in companies with bosses and co workers, you can start opening a business of your own.  You must also remember that before starting your own work, you have to make a research first and find out ideas on how you can be able to succeed in your chosen business. You have to make sure if what you are doing is right before you use all your money for it. Always remember that at first you will have small earnings but hard work and patience will help you along the way.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1371" title="working alone" src="http://www.trabahophilippines.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/reclutamiento_online-249x300.jpg" alt="working alone" width="249" height="300" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Finding the right job might sound difficult but once you get to know yourself, you tend to discover a lot of things that you can do. These steps will make things easier for you when you go job hunting. When looking for a job, you have to be patient and optimistic. Don’t get depressed when you can’t find what best suites your personality and skills. The best thing that you can do is to stay positive and never give up because time will come that you will eventually land on something that you deserve.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>What’s more depressing than losing your job? People would normally feel down when they get fired from their jobs because all of their hard work would be for nothing. They would have to undergo the process again of looking and applying for a new company and this would mean that they’d have to start from scratch. Although, no matter how stressful it may seem, there is always a solution to every problem. Here are a few tips which you can consider in order to build up your self-esteem and keep you going.</p>
<ol>
<li>Acceptance</li>
</ol>
<p>It may not be easy at first but eventually you have to face your fears and depression. You have to face your feelings and accept reality. You can start keeping a blog and writing down what you feel. Always stay positive and do not blame yourself for what happened. Do not lose hope and always remember that there are better things in store for you.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1359" title="acceptance" src="http://www.trabahophilippines.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/art_939-300x201.jpg" alt="acceptance" width="300" height="201" /></p>
<p>2. Ask help from others</p>
<p>When you’re depressed, reach out to your friends. Talk to other people and ask for advice. Join clubs and networking sites which might help you find new jobs.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1360" title="help from others" src="http://www.trabahophilippines.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/5302.jpg" alt="help from others" width="183" height="120" /></p>
<p>3. Turn to your family</p>
<p>Talk to them about your future plans and ask help from them. Listen to their concerns and advices because they are also worried about you. Find time to have fun with your family. Go out on vacations or join them during family dinners or events.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1361" title="help from family" src="http://www.trabahophilippines.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/Parent-talk-to-teen-300x2131.jpg" alt="help from family" width="300" height="213" /></p>
<p>4. Take care of yourself</p>
<p>Make sure to keep yourself healthy. Instead of drinking and having vices, you should try sleeping early, exercising every day, eating healthy food and just relax.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1362" title="healthy" src="http://www.trabahophilippines.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/Two-Commandments-of-Being-Healthy-300x257.jpg" alt="healthy" width="300" height="257" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>5. Do not give up</p>
<p>Even though it may take time before you get accepted to a new career, you have to be patient and stay positive. Do not lose hope when a company rejects you. Try applying for other positions where you’re good at.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1363" title="don't give up" src="http://www.trabahophilippines.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/sisyphus.jpg" alt=" don't give up" width="196" height="220" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Depression is really hard to handle. You do not know how you will be able to start again and sometimes you just want to give up. However, life is full of opportunities. You don’t have to stay sad and blame yourself for everything. Always keep on trying and put into mind that if one door closes, another one opens up for you. Maybe you are meant for something else. Maybe you are meant to be placed in a better company where you can be able to apply your skills and talents and one that you will enjoy. Losing your job may be hard for you but never back down because there is always a silver lining.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As you meet tons of people every day, you realize how much one person differs from the other. When you start working, you will observe that being a part of a company is like going back to high school. People are grouped according to their personalities, you get a lot of comments every day from employees you don’t even know, you get scolded when you come in late or when you do not do your job properly. Once you start entering into a company, it would be hard for you to survive if you don’t know how to accept and handle the different personalities around you. Here are a few examples of the type of employees that you will encounter when you start your job.</p>
<ol>
<li>Slackers</li>
</ol>
<p>These are the people who are usually lazy when working in the office. They would always come in late, walk around the office and chat with other employees, pretend to look busy even when they’re not and spend time in the lounge or pantry in order to kill time.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1351" title="lazy" src="http://www.trabahophilippines.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/lazy-office-worker-300x180.jpg" alt="lazy" width="300" height="180" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>2. Aliens</p>
<p>These are the workers whose minds are always somewhere else. When discussing things to be done in the office, they are always out of topic. They also make unnecessary comments and ideas.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1352" title="daydream" src="http://www.trabahophilippines.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/payday_loan.jpg" alt="daydream" width="250" height="166" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>3. Mr/Ms Know-it-all</p>
<p>These are the ones who usually get fights with the bosses. They would always argue with the boss and insist that their ideas are better. They will not stop unless they get what they want. They will also act superior than other employees and take over projects and activities which are not even assigned to them.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1353" title="bossy" src="http://www.trabahophilippines.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/angry-woman-733632-thumb-572xauto-130647-300x223.jpg" alt="bossy" width="300" height="223" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>4. Outcasts</p>
<p>These are employers who would usually spend their time working on the computer and not talking to anybody. They would not join their officemates for lunch or would make excuses when there are events to attend to.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><a href="http://www.trabahophilippines.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/loner.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1354" title="loner" src="http://www.trabahophilippines.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/loner-227x300.jpg" alt="loner" width="227" height="300" /></a></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>5. Drama Queen/Kings</p>
<p>Drama Queens are employees who would usually do anything to catch the attention of other people. They would always keep on ranting and would even confront the manager and ask for some advices on whatever they are going through in their life.</p>

<p>6. Antagonists</p>
<p>These are employers who would always oppose ideas and suggestions made by co workers. When a project is presented, they will immediately criticize it and point out its flaws.</p>

<p>It is very important to recognize the personalities of your co workers in order for you to find ways on how to deal with them. One of the most important things in order for you to survive in your chosen company is for you to learn how to work well with others. Even though people have different personalities, you have to accept them for who they are. Be yourself, do not let other people bring you down, be nice to other people and learn to understand your officemates even though they piss you off sometimes.</p>
