Professional Opinion
Wedding ring or no wedding for interview? My CW that is single, wears a wedding set to interviews. She thinks it can be seen as a sign of loyal employee. What is your take on this?
Another old nestie with a new name.
Re: Professional Opinion
If you're married, wear a wedding ring.
If you're not, don't.
How would you explain that if it ever came up later on?
I debated this when I interviewed. I ultimately wore my rings, but I very much considered not because I didn't want to take the chance of them thinking I'm married and ready to get knocked up, take maternity leave, and not return. I wanted to be seen as someone who took their career seriously and unfortunately the above situation (which happens frequently) ruins credibility for the rest of us married women of childbearing age.
I can see going either way. If it comes up later after you get a job offer (though I can't imagine someone being uncouth enough to ask "Why weren't you wearing your rings in your interview?") I'd just say sometimes you go without. NBD.
This is just cray cray lol.
It is unfortunate that a woman would be viewed this way in an interview and you actually had to debate the issue. This thought has never even crossed my mind. Perhaps I live in a professional bubble ...
How is it that my BABY is going to be 3?

That's just odd.

I can see how either side can see the potential for discrimination and there have been times when I've questioned the above bolded part as well. I also have to agree that leaving your set at home is one thing, but wearing a set when you're not married is in fact a wee bit cray cray. lol
I read an article probably about a month ago about the subconscious bias against hiring women with large e-rings. One, it can be distracting in an interview, it could also lead the hiring manager to believe the person doesn't "need" the job based on the size, etc.
I can understand this point if someone has a Kardashion sized e-ring. I would find that distracting.
