>> it's an agreement for the best interests of the children. >> we'll bring you the details in an "early show" exclusive. it's a presidential beer summit. they're heading to the white house today for a dose of beer diplomacy. breaking news overnight. a baby that was cut out of her murdered mother's womb has been found alive. >> this was the best case scenario out of this tragedy, that we have the child and it appears to be healthy. >> we'll bring you the latest. an "early" exclusive as jon and kate plus eight returns to tv. we've speak lives with the kids' very worried aunt and ungle. early this tuesday morning july 30th, 2009. hazy foggy thursday morning in new york city. good morning. i'm hairy smith along with maggie rodriguez.

julie is on assignment. this custody agreement with michael jackson's kids in a moment. we're going inside the day of the life of bernard madoff. as we speak the convicted schemer is probably reporting to work at the prison's engraving section where he works every day from 7:00 in the morning until 2:30 in the afternoon making nameplates. we've got a lot more details about his new life and we'll hear what he has to say about his crime from two attorneys for his victims who visited him at the prison and who join us live a little bit later this morning. we're going to reintroduce you to kevin and jody, the aunt and uncle of the eight of jon and kate plus eight. they have serious concerns about the well of the kids as we show goes back on the air. first, we're breaking news this morning in the michael jackson custody case. in an exclusive interview, the lawyer for his mother katherine, says a custody agreement has been worked out. our dave price got the story,

and he joins us in l.a. with the details. good morning, dave. >> reporter: good morning. in a wide-ranging interview mcmillan had very revealing things to say about the battle over michael jackson's estate and some major news about the fate of his children. >> it's an agreement for the best interests of the children. this is not a money deal. this is not about money. >> reporter: since michael's death over a month ago, 79-year-old katherine jackson has raised his three children. is the issue of custody and debbie rowe resolved? >> we will make an announcement shortly on that issue and all of the parties are resolved. there is no situation better than for these children than for them to be raised and reared in the loving care of mrs. katherine jackson. >> reporter: there was concern about joe jackson, that joe shouldn't be involved in raising the kids. >> i don't think it's valid at all. i think joe jackson is the

husband of mrs. jackson, but he's not living in los angeles. oma oma. >> there's so many rumors about him being his child. joe jackson seemed to say about as much in an interview. >> i knew he had another son. >> reporter: he looks like a jackson. >> oh yes, he looks like a jackson and acts like a jackson, he can dance like a jackson. >> i'm not in the rumor business. i'm in the law business. i'm not going to entertain those questions right now. >> reporter: his will requests that katherine raise his children but not manage his money. for that it names two long-time business partners. katherine does get 40% of the estate, but she's fighting to be kept in the loop on all business matters. >> the question is what happened to this will in 2002? how come no one knew about it?

how come mrs. jackson didn't know about it and i didn't know about it? how come we learned about it the day we filed a petition in court stating he died without a will? >>. >> reporter: in a sfamt michael witsman said he was very specific that she act as guardian of children and they being the executors of the will and trust. they accuse mcmillan of trying to rewrite michael's will. >> he's incorrect. we're not trying to rewrite the will. our concern is for anyone to have extraordinary powers they need to have extraordinary trust and integrity. >> reporter: the stakes are high in the battle over michael jackson's money. despite a $331 million debt his estimated net worth was $236 million. that doesn't include the boom in

music sales since his death. how much is that estate worth? >> that estate is worth in my estimation a couple of billion dollars. you hear $500 million. don't buy it. >> reporter: katherine jackson applied for emergency funds. is she broke? >> i don't know where the broke issue comes -- came from. mr. jackson was very generous and provided for resources for his mother and his family and certainly his children. >> reporter: now, of course lon dell mcmillan has represented prince spike lee, stevie wonder. of course he's estimating that the estate that michael jackson has could be worth $2 billion if it achieves its potential earnings and that's if the estate is managed effectively. clearly, michael jackson in death could be even more of an industry than he was during his lifetime. now, during the next hour we'll have more on katherine jackson

and her grandkids and just how they're coping and living day to day. harry. >> thanks very much. president obama is bringing harvard professor henry louis gates jr. and steve crowley to the white house this evening for a cold beer and discussion for race relations. chip reid joins us with more. good morning, chip. >> reporter: good morning, harry. you know this meeting was actually sergeant crowley's idea. he suggested it to the president. now all three men will sit around the picnic table on the white house south lawn and try to learn something from each other and to de-escalate tensions over race. >> race is still a troubling aspect of our society. >> reporter: after accusing police of acting stupidly for arresting a harvard professor in his own home president obama came under fire. now, he's trying to turn a political misstep into a teachable moment inviting the two men at the center of the

controversy to the white house this evening for a beer. meanwhile, the woman who made the 911 call to police on professor gates spoke out for the first time. >> it was a target of scorn and ridicule because of the things i never said. the criticism hurt me as a person. >> reporter: some conservatives are directing their attacks at the president, even calling him a racist. >> this person has exposed himself as a guy over and over and over again who has a deep seeded hatred for white people or the white culture. this guy is i believe, a racist. >> reporter: and rush limbaugh made a veiled reference at race when talking about a food recall. the white house dismissed the talk as nothing more than tv and radio hosts trying to boost their ratings with conservative

audiences. how exactly does the president plan to turn this meeting into a teachable moment? will there be any follow-up? that is still unclear. the white house says the only thing on the formal agenda is cold beer. harry. >> chip reid at the white house this morning. thank you. also following the beer summit this morning, cbs news chief washington correspondent bob schieffer. what do you make of all of this? >> well the president hopes this is going to be a teachable moment and i think the teachable moment here is it underlines what happens when someone says something they didn't mean to say, and they step back and say, you know, i probably shouldn't have said that which is what the president did. i mean what you had, you had a scholar who popped off when he shouldn't have. you have a policeman who let it get under his skin when he shouldn't have. and then the president stepped out and talked about it, you know, before he got all the facts. just look what happened though after the president said i

probably shouldn't have done that. how many car wrecks and shootings and how many marriages might have been saved if one of the people involved had just said you know i didn't mean to say what i said, and hei shouldn't have. i think he took all of the air out of it. i think at the white house today is anticli mattic. the fact the president arranged this, that's what was important here. >> the other thing that seems to be overshadowed by the beer summit is this health care process. the poll numbers show erosion among the public for the president's health care proposals. is this thing going to get done and is it going to look anything like it looks right now? >> i think the answer to all those questions are, harry, no one can say with certainty. i think you are right to say when you look at it in the long term i think probably health care reform is probably a little

more important and what happens there then what happens at the white house today. you know the fact that the public can't seem to make up its mind, what it thinks about this is reflective of the fact that nobody knows. there's so many different plans floating around on capitol hill right now. no one knows what's in them. no one knows how it will look at the end. i think we're just at the beginning of this debate on health care not at the end. >> bob schieffer, thanks very much. no lone star or liner batch as the beer summit tonight. take care. russ mitchell. is he here this morning? >> he is indeed. >> good morning. a miraculous discovery and horrific crime. a baby cut from his slain mother's womb has been found alive. a suspect who knew the mother is under arrest. terrell brown joins us now with details. >> reporter: the baby looks to be in good condition this morning. right now she's being evaluated

at a new hampshire hospital. >> we wanted that child -- this was the best case scenario out of this tragedy, that we have the child and it appears to be healthy. >> reporter: the baby's mother was last seen a week ago. it's not clear when she was killed. monday her mutilated body was discovered in a closet. it was in her home in worcester, massachusetts. it wasn't until tuesday that the medical examiner realized the mother of three had been eight months pregnant. it was the strange behavior of julie cory that led to a break in the case. cory told mutual friends she gave birth sometime last week. cory's friends who didn't even know she was pregnant called police. >> many of her acquaintances watched the news and realized that there was a woman who was killed and missing the child. >> reporter: meanwhile, cory the baby and male friend was picked up last night at a shelter in plymouth new hampshire. cory was questioned and is in

kwud this morning. she's charged with being a fugitive for justice with probable cause that she kidnapped the baby. >> thank you so much. we appreciate it. the baby girl survived the ordeal but what are her long-term prospects? jennifer ashton is here with more on that. this baby obviously, born under horrific circumstances. medically, what complications might the baby have that perhaps a baby who was born premature a month early wouldn't have? >> this is obviously a horrific tragedy and one that underlies the prevalence of abuse and violence against pregnant women. all indicated reports this baby was a month premature so about 36 weeks can survive very well outside the mother even under these circumstances. babies are resilient. this shows us that. obviously, they'll look at the baby closely in the hospital. again, violence murder crime against pregnant women is the leading cause of death in this country, and this is another reminder of that. >> jennifer ashton thank you so much. going to change directions now and tell you about a

7-year-old utah boy who went for a ride in the family car, and he did the driving. the incident was caught on tape sunday. he ran a few stop signs as police gave chase. he tried to make a run for it before police caught up. the boy said he took the joyride because he didn't want to go to church. look at him go. police say the boy is too young to prosecute. that is quite a story. but don't get any ideas out there. how about that? >> the kid bolted from the car. that was fantastic. >> his mom and dad will prosecute him. >> you're right. >> watch this. he thinks about it for a second. >> let's get out of here. >> oh my goodness. oh boy. good thing nobody was hurt though. the kid is fine and everybody is okay. lonnie quinn is here with our first check of the weather. >> we're talking about strong storms out there. where am i focusing m air?

from texas into the deep south. if i can show you right now, the current radar picture around dallas texas look at this. they're really getting hit with heavy activity. it has been sparking tornado warnings in the area. it's going to be a tough go of it all day long. elsewhere, speaking of tornado warnings, we had a report of a tornado not far outside of new york city yesterday. it will be a calmer day today for the nort

and that is your latest weather. over to you. still ahead this morning, lots of bernard madoff's victims would like a few minutes with him. ahead this morning we speak with two lawyers that spent five hours with madoff this week at the prison. jon and kate's fractured life. what's it doing to their eight kids? we'll hear from the children's aunt and uncle who have new concerns. new government guidelines for the swine flu vaccine. what do they mean for you? we have the latest on the h1n1 ahead this morning on "the early show."

you know what, this looks just like the tree house i built with my dad. (girl) really? yeah. there you go. okay, i'm gonna work on the roof. dad, i'll be right back!

bernard madoff behind bars. now in north carolina prison he met on tuesday with two california attorneys representing some of madoff's victims. joseph cotchett and nancy fineman who join us this morning. good morning to you both. >> good morning, maggie. >> help us paint a picture of bernard madoff's new life at

buttner federal prison. what was he wearing and how did he look to you? >> the first thing you notice is he's not wearing a brooks brothers suit. he's wearing tan prison gar about and a pair of tennis shoes he had to buy. it's not the usual wall street outfit you would imagine him to be in. >> how did he look to you physically? >> he looked gaunt. his hair is short. look, it's a prison. he's suffering the immediate throes of being thrust into this. it's a new world to him. it's not pleasant as it shouldn't be. the man is distraught. >> did you get that impression too, nancy? this is somebody who is depressed and sulking over his new reality? >> yeah. i think it hasn't quite hit him completely. he's having a hard time coming to grips. his ankle are swollen, he has high blood pressure and he got hustled down to buttner over an

overnight trip and walked into a place he's never going to leave. >> joseph i understand his fellow inmates treat him like somewhat of a celebrity? >> they do. according to him they're constantly asking him for autographs autographs. he's the biggest swind ler in the country thrust in with a lot of people that have never seen the kind of money he was in touch with every day. >> you were both hoping to get information from him to help your clients recover what was lost. did you? >> yes, we did. he kept denying that anybody helped him. we asked questions for four and a half hours, and he gave us a lot of facts. you know we learned a lot of new things and confirmed things and we will follow-up on a lot he told us. >> i have 20 seconds left. joseph give me the biggest headline out of your meeting with madoff? >> the biggest headline to come out is the s.e.c. totally failed

in its mission. they should have had this guy behind bars 10 to 15 years ago, and they blew it each and every time they interviewed him. >> joseph cotchett nancy fineman, thank you. >> thank you. >> we'll be right back.

lots of cheers on this thursday morning. welcome back to "the early show" everybody. coming up. the latest on the swine flu. the government issued new guidelines for the vaccine. in our health watch we'll tell you if you should be one of the first in line to get the shot. all the advice has been don't bother to look at your 401(k) you're losing money and you can't do anything about it. this morning we're here to say it's time. take the bull by the horns and look at your 401(k) and reallocate your assets. you need to do that. we have good advice this morning. >> probably should have done that about six months ago. the jon and kate plus 8 saga continues. it returns on monday with an all-new episode since announcing the divorce plans next month. they've been embracing their single lives. we'll talk to the children's aunt and uncle in a moment.

first michelle gielan is here with the latest. good morning. >> good morning. fans of jon and kate plus 8 will watch a different family of ten this season after an eventful month after. with the cameras in tow, jon gosselin returned to pennsylvania this week to spend some quality time with his kids a far cry from the jet-setting playboy seen only a few weeks ago lounging on a yacht with a 22-year-old girlfriend haley glassman. >> he's a newfound celeb overnight. he's kind of shifted gears now, and instead of being the wholesome father raising his brood of eight kids he's now going to a route that kind of we see lindsay lohan do in the past. >> reporter: less than a week later he was photographed in the hamptons with former "star" magazine reporter kate major. the other kate stayed close to home but that did not stop her from stepping into the single world on her own. >> she has recently purchased an

apartment in rockfield, maryland which is close to her former bob guard who she was rumored to have a relationship with. >> reporter: caught in the middle are the couple's eight children who will remain in their pennsylvania home as jon and kate take turns lives with them. a living arrangement tlc will address when it returns from hiatus on monday. >> my new attitude is i can do. >> reporter: it's this aarrangement that has raised eyebrows who warn against the long-term effects of growing up in the constant glare of reality tv cameras. >> it will be good television, but will it be good for the children? >> gloria explains that child labor laws differ from state to state. pennsylvania doesn't offer the same protections as states like california and new york. both of which have detailed legislation governing the work of child actors. harry. >> thank you so much. two people especially worried about those kids are kate gosselin's brother kevin kreider

and his wife jodi with us here this morning. you were here in may as the show was ready to go back on the air, and there were all these rumors. what are your biggest concerns then when we fist talkrst talked? >> it would be played out publicly and the children have damage done to them and into the future. >> right. now we've seen their relationship devolve before our lives. their lives are played out in the tabloids day after day as we looked at michelle gielan's story. what is your greatest concern about your sister and her family right now? >> we see a family in crisis and we feel like tlc needs to be held responsible for what they're choosing to air. >> absolutely. >> we feel like it's a -- it's value they're setting aside for the monetary gain. it's a ratings thing, but they're playing with these kids'

lives, and they're our nieces and nephews. that's really heart-breaking and we feel like there's alternatives like they can limit the amount of episodes. we were talking about, what, 100 episodes in two years. that's overexposure and these children don't have their childhood. they don't have that privacy they need. >> what happened? what do you think happened? you all were in several episodes. you participated in this. as you were participating a couple of years back did it seem innocent enough to you? >> at the time yes, it was a documentary. i think, you know tlc snatched this family out of their little lives and placed them into this fishbowl and provided contracts and freebies that they could not pass up. therefore, now all of this is being played out, and the children are not the priority. that is why we're here. we want to call out for change.

we want a politician that has a heart for kids that sees this crisis that wants to be involved in positive change to partner with us to get protection for these children. >> you've tried to have these conversations with your sister, with your brother-in-law to what avail? >> well it's hurtle becauseful because when we were involved, we had that interaction daily and it was easy to say, hey, kate maybe they shouldn't go in that direction. now i feel like the network has tried to cut us off. >> has control. >> they have control. they're being surrounded by these people that have -- they're in paid positions, and they're kind of like looking more for the money rather than the welfare of the children. >> do you feel like you lost your sister to fame? >> if you want to put it like that, sure. sure. >> when you see this all play out now, these are people you love and care about, what does

it make you think and feel? >> it's tragic and that is why we're continuing to speak out for the children. they need to be looked at as the first priority. damage has already been done and we want to see -- >> how do you mean? what do you think? >> there needs to be limited hours of hours being filmed and days being filmed to give the children their childhood. there needs to be trust funds set up for each child for the money made from each episode to protect their financial security. and then also there needs to be guidelines ethical guidelines for filming children because they're filming private moments such as bathroom time. these things need to be addressed not only for our nieces and nephews but for all children. >> by the team they're teenagers, there's really kind of curious and odd.

in the last couple of weeks or even month or so have you tried to reach back out to your family? >> yeah we've definitely tried. we've been successful to a point, but i think the more this goes on and the more we want to speak out for our nieces and nephews, the harder it is to connect with kate and jon. but we love them very much. we want to make that very clear. but our voice is going to continue to be for our nieces and nephews. we feel like this is our obligation as being the aunt and uncle we need to speak out. >> absolutely. we love them too much to turn our back and not to address the issues that we see that we have been somewhat involved in. there needs to be change. >> thank you both for taking the time to come and visit with us this morning, and we hope somehow a bridge is built back between you and your sister. >> thanks for having us again. >> thank you. >> all right. up next hot weather in the northwest. an all-time record in seattle, and when are the thunderstorms

yesterday i know that goth health officials met to decide who should get the vaccine first? >> they went through five groups that they consider to be at high risk from complications if they were to get h1n1 virus. tom of the list is pregnant women. that includes women who will be pregnant at all during the flu season and it is approved in all three try mesimestertrimesters. nin wo takes care of babies rn the age of sings months day care workers, older siblings and grandparents. young adults and children six months to 24 years. anyone with an underlying medical condition and anyone who takes care of sick people, health care professionals, emergency workers. these are the top five groups prioritized to receive it first. >> these are a lot of priorities. will they have enough of the vaccine to treat all the people? >> they will. estimates are they will have enough to cover these groups about 159 million doses. that conveniently corresponding to the proportion of the

imagine how bad you felt on march 9th when the market was at its absolute low point. take a real gut check. here's the three general categories. i was an insomniac and i could not sleep and i was kind of okay but it was a little scary and i didn't know what to do and then i slept like a baby. it was terrific. i didn't have a lot of money in the stock market or maybe i had such time before he needed my money, i was just fine or i was totally in denial which is a separate issue. those are the general categories. you need to understand how you felt during this period of time. >> once you note that, before you go reallocating or mixing up assets is there anything to do? >> you should take a risk tolerance test. most 401(k) z have this. they will ask you a bunch of question. how would you feel if the market went down 20%? you now know because it was down

40%. i felt rotten or it was okay. once you take that test you're ready to make some changes potentially in your 401(k) or other retirement accounts. >> you've taken that test. let's say you decide you are risk tolerant and slept pretty well when the market started to tank. what should do you with your 401(k). >> we divide this up -- i know people say i'm x years old. what do i do? it's when i need my money. 30 years before i need my money, i can have 50 to 70% in higher risk assets. that's stocks international stocks maybe junk bonds. >> if you've got 30 years and your belly can take it and you slept well okay. if you're 20 years out, pull back a little bit. again, the longer the period of time before you need the money, the more risk you can take. but if you're only 5 to 15 years out and you're pretty risk tal rant and did okay put back the risk. what we want people to do is be

aware of the risk tolerance and the time horizon for when they need that money. >> what if during the recession you didn't sleep tool and you were restless? >> you needed only 5 milligrams of amp yevenlt same thing with same time horizons. we pull back the risk levels. 0 to 15% in risky assets. let's just say that you said i didn't sleep very well and i have five years before i'm going to retire. it's okay to have just 10% in risky assets. that's okay. again, you must know yourself and don't get swayed by other people doing different things. >> what if you were a complete and utter mess? >> you need 10 milligrams of ambien and really have to immediately reduce your risk. here's the good news since the market is up you can take whatever portfolio you have just cut it in half in the risk level. that's the easiest thing. do not chase the market higher because you'll get lured into

that. save more money. >> the thing you have to consider is if you're sleeping well then your 401(k) is allocated properly? >> pretty much. here's the thing. you can save more sxen spend les in your retirement and you can work longer. working longer has the biggest impacts on your retirement years than anything else. someone said what if i don't have a job? that means while you're working, save a lot. >> you say work longer. do you have to work quite number of years longer than expected or one or two? >> no a couple of years can change it dramatically. you're earning more than. working longer. the most significant impact on your retirement planning. >> jim schlesinger, thank you so much. i think i'll sleep well tonight. no ambien for me. up next how do you butter your bread in the restaurant. we take an etiquette test. this is "the early show" on cbs.

all right. please pay attention, everyone. we're about to take an etiquette quiz and we have to speak really politely as well. you ready, gentlemen? >> please. let's go. >> this is base odd etiquette books, and i have a couple of scenarios. is it okay to check your blackberry or cell phone during dinner at a restaurant? >> of course not, no. >> harry? >> lonnie didn't check his. he's late for the session. >> i failed? what's new with that one. >> what do you think, gentlemen? >> i try not to. i try not to. i would prefer not to. i was at a business lunch the other day, and i forgot to just put my phone on vibrate and it went off and i held my hand like this and thought it can wait. if somebody is really trying to get ahold of me they'll call back. >> let me give you the answer. it is absolutely impolite to use your cell phone or blackberry at the table. if you cannot turn it off, step way from the table and use it

outside or in the vestibule. >> you know who else is very impolite, news directors when you're tv. your phone goes off. >> that's a big, big no-no. >> has it happened to anybody at this counter. >> it's become so abusive that a lot of restaurants make you check yours when you enter. number two. who should enter a revolving door first, the man or woman? harry. >> i was in a story about this once. i'm old school and i say the man should go through first. >> and what do you say, lonnie? >> i would have thought the lady goes in first and i helped to push. >> >> there's work to be done. >> that's old score thinking. if it was moving the lady could go first. if it was not moving the man should enter first to help the woman. now in modern day etiquette books the person that arrives first can go first because women are just as strong as men. >> in my rng my doorman -- we don't have an automatically

resolving door and he pushed it people. i would do that for my wife. >> i don't think she would complain. next. what is the proper way to butter your bread? >> slap it on like that. i don't know. you put the butter on your plate, your small plate and take a little bead. >> do you hold the bread in your hand as you do it? >> i do yes. >> you shouldn't. you should break the bread into small pieces but not bite-sized piece and leave a piece on your plate and butter it on the plate. now you know. >> can't take me anywhere. >> one more. we don't have much time. who would go first up and down a flight of stairs? >> the guy the guy. >> the guy in case the woman falls, he can catch her. >> right, right. >> right. >> we'll be back. you're watching "the early show" on cbs.

reason that the host doesn't want you perhaps to see the rest of their home. >> there could be skeletons in the closet so to speak. >> i've done it. i just learned it yesterday. there's a reason they didn't invite me to see the rets of the house. >> have you been to a dollar store? they're all over the place. stock in dollar stores are sky high and people looking for values. vera gibbons has advice and warnings. let you know what you should and shouldn't buy. >> let's go inside to russ mitch chet who learn this had morning the proper way to butter his bread in a restaurant. >> thanks a lot. good morning to you. a gruesome story this morning. a baby cut from her mother's body has been found alive and apparently well. the baby's mother darlene haynes was found dead in her massachusetts home on monday. yesterday an acquaintance of haynes was raeed in new hampshire where they found the baby. we're in concord, new hampshire.

that's relatively new. you have names popping up but you have imposters. you have fake sharpie pens fake cosmetics, all sorts of bogus products. in some cases it maybe fine but i would stay away from the bogus personal care items like the fake toothpaste and some of those, fake creams and lotions. the fda has identified a lot of fake toothpaste meant to look like colgate, and over 40 brands they say are hazardous. >> there was that whole thing a couple of years ago with the chinese toothpaste under other labels. >> some of the products with still out there. you have to be careful with that. again, anything you put on your body drinking eating be careful. >> the other stuff is this really, really inexpensive tool. >> they all come from china. this can be hazardous. it could be a choking hazard lead content is an issue as well. there's been a lot of recalls,

millions of recalls. in 2007 1.5 million recalls on jewelry. >> what about this stuff? >> vitamins, all that type of thing, you find drugs there as well. i would sort of stay away from this. some has expiration dates and some sdebt and some is expired. vitamins we did a study and found 50% of the dollar store brands didn't contain the nutrients they actually claimed. >> that's reason enough not to do it. >> electronics here. >> these would be under the inferior category. electrical products from certain power surges to cords, all that stuff could be a fire hazard. >> are they tested by underwriters laboratory? >> one has a laboratory on it and the other one doesn't. that's kind of what you find at the dollar stores. >> so there's no real way to know because anybody can print that right? >> i would say away from them the batteries might be inferior.

foods, getting into that in a big way. >> that's everything you need to know about the dollar store. >> there you go. >> with change to spare. >> i hope. yes. >> for more on dollar stores go to our website -- come on bobby. you didn't like that? >> i loved it. >> here's maggie. it's tough to get your first real job in today's economy, so getting your resume and interview right is incredibly important. here with everything you need to know job hunting expert ellen gordon reeves the author of "can i wear my nose ring to the interview?" welcome. people have actually asked this question? >> this is a real question i've been asked many times as i counsel young people and i actually say yes, wear your nose ring. just understand that 50% or more of the people out there may not hire you. there are consequences. >> ask yourself how much do i want my nose ring? more than i want the job? >> the job, right. there are nose ring environments. we didn't wear our nose rings

today, but that is it. >> number two, letters of referral or references. when you ask someone to write one for you, is it okay to tell them what you rightwrite? >> don't put them on the spot. if you have an internship ask now. don't wait until they don't remember you three years later. help them help you. >> you talk about being anecdotal on your resume making it a story. what do you mean by na? >> everything has to be measured by being measurable. it's to show what you can do for them. the story is for every sengle job you apply for. you have to redo the resume and talk about what you did. whatever you did, make sure the employer knows what you can do for him. >> here's my pet peeve. typos. is it just me or are they not okay under any circumstances? >> not a single typo. game over. you did not care enough to send the very best. >> thank you very much. how honest is too honest in an
