What do you put for marital status on a CV if you not married..

... but live with your long term Gf

I've been updating the old CV but putting 'live with partner' makes me sound gay!

Why do you have to put your relationship status on your CV?

Duke · 29 Aug 2008 at 08:13

No need to put that info on there.

meghatronic · 29 Aug 2008 at 08:15

Put "Marital Status: Divorced (9 times)".

It doesn't matter. Technically gender, age and marital status don't need to be on there

I can't see any reason why you need to put this on your CV. Unless it specifically affected your ability to do the job you're applying for.

Uriel · 29 Aug 2008 at 08:19

Just one of those things that you don't really need but a lot of people do put on.

Mr.Clark · 29 Aug 2008 at 08:23

Mine's not on there. It's none of their business.

Sp00n · 29 Aug 2008 at 08:25

I've never once been told to put it on mine, if i ahd to though for that I would put livign with partner.

meghatronic · 29 Aug 2008 at 08:29

Actually, I have it on my cv, I just checked. No idea why, force of habit I guess.

Put down "Complicated".

just like facebook

[FnG]magnolia · 29 Aug 2008 at 08:37

"Relationship status : Awaiting your flight instructions, m'lady!"

gillywibble · 29 Aug 2008 at 08:46

The correct answer is 'Sinner in the eyes of God'.

what job you applying for Jiggalo?

Duskcrawler · 29 Aug 2008 at 09:36

Surely the only answer for marital status if you are not married is unmarried?

Messiah Khan · 29 Aug 2008 at 09:39

cohabiting?

Why are you putting your marital status on your CV?

Is your boss hot or something?

i'd put this too

can help with getting jobs in IT obviously it's technically a bit dodgy but most IT companies would prefer to employ un-married men with no children as it's much easier to take advantage of them in terms of working hours and on call work etc.
