There are a lot of things people do before heading into a job interview...like picking out the perfect outfit, doing some background on the company their interviewing for, and even giving themselves a little pep talk. But it turns out there’s also one thing that lots of women do, and it may shock you.
A new survey finds that 29% of married women actually take off their wedding band before heading to a job interview, out of fear their marital status will result in some sort of discrimination.
The survey also reveals other ways men discriminate against women in the workforce, with 59% of employers thinking women should disclose whether they’re pregnant during an interview, and 46% of employers believing it’s okay to ask women if they have young children while interviewing them.
