Many years back, before an interview, I deliberately removed my wedding ring bc I didn't want my marital staus to influence. They wanted to hire me and discussed the salary. When I had to return for an interview with him and a dept head, I inadvertently mentioned 'husband.' Sure enough, that salary was suddenly lower than previously quoted. Maybe it's not done as much now (think it's illegal and should never be done!), but back then (1990) they figured you didn't need as much money if you were married. I just thanked them for their time and went elsewhere. Happened to a professional friend of mine too. Crazy!

Her then-husband was going to school and had a part-time job. Mom earned more than him as a self-employed freelancer but he had that 'regular' predictable job lenders love, so when they applied for a small bank loan her varied but much better yearly income was dismissed. Going on his then-income alone, the loan was denied. So they saved and then bought what they wanted outright. So ridiculous.

Refusing to answer simple questions like who you live with or if you are married is a great way to get the interviewer to think you are a dick. Even if you have this principle of it being against regulations, great, then don't get the job because you didn't want to say "I live with my partner". Answering it in a smart way is the way to go. Like the last answer, that was good. If you think getting married soon keeps you from getting the job just say "We are not sure when yet". Not answering basic questions which are intended to get you to talk about yourself and get a rapport going is an awful idea.

One trick interviewers will pull is asking details about your potential commute, in order to get a sense of your financial status/personal life. They might be less willing to hire someone who uses public transit instead of owning a car, for instance. Assure them that you can get to work on time every day, you don't need to explain exactly how if you don't want to.
@kit922

Distance is also a factor. Employers want the assurance that you're going to be there every shift, on time ("I'm stuck in traffic!" Might be true on your hour-long commute almost every day, compared to never when you live only 8 minutes up the road). Edit to add: being able to describe the journey in terms of time is very helpful. I always ask "how was it getting here? Any trouble finding the place?" If they say "fine" I get nothing out of it, but if they say "yeah y'know it normally only takes about 30min for me to get to this area but today I hit some mid-morning traffic..." or whatever, it tells me that they're aware of their time and the area, and they're thinking realistically about the day-to-day of working here. If they say "I'm an hour and a half away, but I love the views..." I might dig into that a little more, like can you really do this 5 days a week or are you going to be swapping shifts constantly?

When I was 18 I went to a job interview to be a receptionist at a physical therapists office. Almost as soon as I sat down the interviewer started asking me a bunch of intrusive questions about my political beliefs and arguing with me about them. He then asked me about my physical disability and proceeded to spend the rest of the interview performing a physical exam of my back and offering unsolicited, very uninformed medical advice about what I should do to fix my chronic back condition. He asked me zero questions about my qualifications and I'm guessing he knew he wasn't going to hire me as soon as I walked in the door. I was super young and inexperienced and didn't know how to say no so I just went along with everything. I was trying really hard not to upset him and to answer all his intrusive questions in order to not "ruin my chances." I wish I had known it was okay not to answer and that behavior was totally inappropriate. In retrospect I should have ended the interview early and left as soon as he started prying.

generally you should answer probing questions truthfully without divulging details, as she did in the sample answer she provided, and then once you have the job offer, you can disclose more information and bring up any accommodations you may need so that they can be added to the offer. (and make sure you record this in writing, such as via email.) in the united states, it is illegal to make hiring decisions based on disability (unless it would completely impede you from doing the job, like the job absolutely requires heavy lifting but you physically can't lift at all), but if you disclose it during the interview and then don't get the job, you can't know for certain if you were discriminated against. if you wait until you have the job offer, the employer can't rescind that offer without making it look like they're doing something illegal.

It's a great way to ruin employees for life.

Yes and no. It's a question designed to weed out having to accommodate candidates. If you're able to perform the job, but do have a condition which *may* impact it, and you tell them about this position, then it opens you up to the lovely world of discriminatory hiring practices. But since their actual reply rates are so low, you'll likely never have enough proof to take them to court for their illegal practices. If you need accommodations to perform your job, file it with HR after being hired. If you can't do your job, you wouldn't be at the interview in the first place. There's no reason that you should have to tell the prospecting employer this information during interviewing.

@@DipMaster20 The last one is right on the line. Asking if someone is physically able to fulfill the requirements of the job is legitimate, but asking if someone requires reasonable disability accommodations in order to do so is not. A wise employer will simply ask if you're able to complete a particular task, without raising the broader question of "any physical issues".

As a nurse I’ve always had employers disclose physical requirements of the job. My current place say I must be able to lift at least 50lbs for the safety of the residents. I feel like a better response would be “I’ve seen the physical requirements in the job description and will be able to meet those expectations”. It has less to do with personal story and more to do with safety and functionality in performing your role.

I used to not inform the hiring manager/HR about my epilepsy, because I felt I would be dismissed. About 10 years ago, I started mentioning it, because my health and safety are important, and if they can't accommodate a neurological condition I have no control over, then I don't want to work there. My current company is wonderful. They know about my epilepsy, and allow me to attend doctor's appointments without punishment, even if it's during my shift. They know I can't drive, and rely on my boyfriend or Lyft, so they understand my occasional tardiness and they bring documents to my worksite instead of requiring me to come to their office. My supervisor is extremely understanding, as well, and I'm his relief M-F, so he's the one affected on the days I'm a little late. He just asks for a texted heads up if I'm not going to be my normal time (10-15 minutes early), so he's kept updated.

Because parents have responsibilities and priorities outside of the workplace, which can inconvenience employers. In my case, my spouse has a job they can only leave in emergencies, so my employer gets to deal whenever I need to pick up a sick kid from school, take them to an appointment during the work day, etc. Also, I'm not going to work late because that interferes with our family rhythm. My family is my priority. (Not every parent is like this! My spouse does not have the luxury of time that I do for things like these appointments. But this is how OUR family works.)

@@misspatvandriverlady7555That’s exactly right. We rarely hire a woman of childbearing age, but when we do, we have a statistical formula to account for the odds that she becomes pregnant or takes medical leave (women also use much more healthcare than men - which is reflected in the premiums we have to pay to insure a woman - and are much more likely to miss work with a cold), and these costs are calculated into the maximum compensation we will offer. By age 50, if she’s still a single career woman, she’s basically 95% as good as man.

It’s just sexism. Companies think that mothers are less committed to their work. Women being married means they might have kids so they are therefore less valuable. But at the same time, a man who is married gets paid more than an unmarried one because it’s a sign that he’s more “responsible”. And of course it’s just a fact that women get paid less than men in general because apparently women are just worth less, period.
