A lot of businesses enlist celebrities to advertise their products. By doing this, they are persuading you, the consumer, to buy their products by showing you beloved celebrities, like Ellen, to sponsor their products. If Ellen is using these beauty products, then they must work, right? Wrong, they are about as useful as the cheaper products. The only thing better with this product is the business’s profit off of the consumer, making this an important business tactic for the up and coming business owner.

You should always send a thank you note after job interviews because it does the following:

• impresses employers with your follow through
• shows courtesy toward the interviewer
• shows your understanding of professional courtesy
• conveys your interest in the position
• provides you an opportunity to get back in front of the employer again, in case you have faded from the memory of an employer who met too many people too quickly
• allows you to introduce information that you neglected to mention in the interview
• demonstrates your skill at written (or emailed) communications
• meets your competition so you don’t lose an opportunity simply because your competitor sent a thank you

It is always smarter to write a thank you letter than to rely on first impressions.

Social Loafing is the phenomenon of a person exerting less effort to achieve a goal when they work in a group than when they work alone

According to Karima Mariama-Arthur, there are 3 ways to prevent social loafing. One simple strategy to prevent it is to keep the group small. Another strategy is to develop the rules of engagement. Set up ground rules at the beginning of the assignment so each member will be aware of their responsibility and cause less conflict. One final strategy you could use is to assign separate and distinct contributions for every team member. Each team member would have their own task and have to rely on themselves to get their individual tasks done, which will make sure each team member picks up their own slack.
