The world discriminates against overweight people. We may not want to hear this, but we know it's true. We probably are guilty of it ourselves, if we're really honest.
A new study by Wayne State University in Detroit has also found that potential employers are guilty of this discrimination. So, if you're looking to get a new job, you may want to start working out as part of your preparation.
Employers subconsciously associated certain stereotypes with overweight job candidates, including laziness, sloppiness, untidiness and lack of self-discipline and control. Ouch. These can be completely unfair stereotypes, but knowledge is power and if you're applying for a job, it can't hurt to keep this study in mind.
