My wife wants to end our 12 year marriage. I am right in the middle of a career change. I have a couple of companies very interested in me in client account management positions. I know they look at me as a family guy, but how will they feel if I become the divorced guy? Can this hamper my chances for advancement? I am good at building business relationships, but I let my own marriage suffer and almost die. Can anyone give me an outlook on how corporations look at their senior people in this sense?

Stephano,<P>I'm looking for a job too - and struggling in a separation.<P>As far as I understand, employers are not legaly allowed to ask you your marital status - or to base hiring on that information if you have given it.<P>-AD

As a job seeker and a single mother with primary care of two children, this is a big question in my mind.<P>I am considering passing myself off as married for interview purposes. Making no verbal references to that part of life but finding a plain band to wear on the appropriate finger. Not my wedding band however. My mother may have something.
