Job Interviews and Being Successful


I had a job interview today. I've worked for the same company for nearly 4 years now and the travel, as evidenced by the title of this blog, is wearing on me. In any event, I presented my resume with work experience, education, and interests. I know their are HR laws against most "personal" questions, but I found it odd that no one asked my marital status and whether or not I have children. I got in a "heated discussion" with my mother this weekend about how people in my neighborhood must not think I am successful becuase I am lacking those two things. It bothers me that people at church label me as unsuccessful. I feel them staring and pointing -- Mom insists it is all in my head. Perhaps.
