Stereotyping causes significant problems in the career development process. Gender Stereotyping discourages young men and women from entering nontraditional occupations for which they may be well-suited. Stereotyping inhibits the career exploration and planning process because it limits the options that people see for themselves. STEREOTYPES LIMIT OUR POTENTIAL!!!
Nontraditional Occupation Nontraditional refers to occupations or fields of work in which fewer than 25% of the workers in the occupation are of one gender (male or female).

It is important to make a conscious effort to overcome stereotypes. Failure to do this can lead to some serious problems, like: Some women may think they do not need to prepare for a career because they will be supported by the men in their lives. Some men & women limit themselves of career opportunities, because they don’t have the confidence that they would do well in certain occupations.
Ways to overcome & ERASE stereotypes… • Take classes you’re interested in & pursue a career that fits your personality & learning style– despite stereotypes. • Be able to identify the stereotypes we hold and try to become more open-minded. • When encountering new ideas and new kinds of people, there are several ways we can react: REJECTION, TOLERANCE, ACCEPTANCE, and RESPECT.
TO REACT TO NEW IDEAS/PEOPLE WE CAN BE OPEN-MINDED THROUGH: Rejection- To refuse to accept, acknowledge, or believe. Tolerance- To allow something to exist without trying to stop it. Acceptance- To agree with or regard something as normal. Respect- To consider worthy of high regard or honor.
In Summary: 1. Be familiar with your personality and how it matches your career options. 2. Know your learning style and practice studying with suggested strategies. 3. Beware of stereotyping and keep an open mind about career opportunities. 4. Chart your career path--- it’s never to early to start thinking & planning. Enjoy the journey!!!
