should I wear my wedding ring for an job interview?

Question

I am kind of good looking and in my mid 40's and the interviewer sounds hot and under 30 over the phone.
even if she isn't I think I have a better chance of landing at this job if she thinks I am single; well unless she married. Anyways, I want this job and I use to get jobs easy when I was single and now it seems like its more of a struggle since I have been married.

Answer 1

The interviewer sounds 'hot'? Maybe you should be concerned about keeping your marriage together because you sound like you're going to stray. Some employers prefer married men, because they think they're stable. Others like honest people, and if they see that you've taken your wedding band off, they'll either think you're dishonest or that you're in the midst of a divorce and they won't want to touch you. Also, married men tend to get higher money offers, because people figure you have a family to support, and if they hire you because they want someone single, they might expect you to work longer hours and more weekends. So, lying about this, even if it gets you the job, means that you're going to be worse off than you are now.

Answer 2

Umm I would suggest you wear your wedding ring. If you don't and the topic comes up then it puts you and the interviewer in an awkward situation. She would then automatically start thinking of other things you may not be telling her and that would pretty much kill your chances of landing the job. Plus if you honestly feel that you did not get the job due to your marital status then you have a valid case against her and the company. Good luck with the interview and I hope you get the job....

Answer 3

Flirting is off limits whether married or single. Does charming mean coming on to the interviewer? Not something anyone should ever do. Wear your ring be yourself and quit overthinking this.

Answer 4

If you have to pretend to be someone you are not for a job, it is not the job for you.

Sounds to me like you are after more than a job.

Do yourself a marital favor and quit fantasizing about how "hot" this interviewer is...she probably could care less about your marital status.

She wants to know what skills you are bringing to the job.

Keep your ring on and keep your ego in check, dude.

Answer 5

What a fascinating question. I think that if you were confident in your abilities and were truly looking for a good job, that this would be the least of your worries. I feel sorry for the interviewer - you are making this into a sexual encounter?
And, heaven help you if your wife reads your question.

Answer 6

Did you mention this to your wife...you know that you feel you will get a job easier without your wedding band on and ...oh yeah that woman who is going to interview me sounds hot????
Why on earth did you get married?

Answer 7

I think you should wear your ring, if you start out lying, things just go down-hill. Especially if you really want this job.
Never know, she may also be married. Either way, she will find out your married. I wish you luck , hope this helped a little.

Answer 8

I think you should wear your wedding ring, whether you like it or not, sooner or later it's gonna come out that you' re married!

Answer 9

i dont know dude, what if you get hired without the ring, then you wear it one day and she sees you. what then? i think you should just keep it real, and if she doesnt hire you just because your married than shes not reall looking for an employee.


work at home, great potential income. company expanding fast.
