As such, she has also developed a bad tendency to focus on extrinsic goals rather than intrinsic goals. For example, when applying for jobs, Sarah always practices her interviews and does her best to be a competitive candidate. However, when she doesn't get the job, instead of thinking about her accumulated experience and other external reasons why she might not have gotten the job, she believes she is simply useless, unqualified, and unworthy of the position, focusing more on the extrinsic reward she missed out on. (such as job position), rather than on the intrinsic rewards he has earned (the practice and additional experience he has gained).
