We ALL stereotype, but can you let go of it when you see who people really are. John’s Tip: Be “smart” about your appearance for a job interview. You don’t want to be stereotyped negatively. Find the commonality and then break the stereotype. You can reinvent yourself whenever you want. Stop thinking you HAVE to be a certain way.

How can you determine if something is a scientific research study or an article?
Look for the following: -Who funded the study? -Validity: external, internal and construct -The study should be on at least 50 people -What is the P value? -Did all participants finish the study? -How are they getting people to sign up? -How is data reported? -Does it have a blind study or at least a control group? -University or Government studies are usually valid
