Just don’t bring up your marital status in an interview, that’s all. I think it is illegal for the to directly ask about it, so unless you raise the issue, it shouldn’t come up.

Employers definitely don’t like single, unmarried men. The reason is that they are seen as more unstable and potentially a problem. They know married guy, or better yet a married man with children, is behind the 8-ball. He has responsibilities and needs the job, so they can push and abuse him more than a single man, who can wake up one morning and decide this job just isn’t worth it and quit.

I know. I’ve done it twice, myself. They should see it coming, but never do.

Well I gotta tell you, and if you tell anybody I said it I’ll have to deny it...but I don’t think I’d hire a 37 year old single Pastor.

And it’s not because I’d fear he was homosexual. Mostly I’m convinced that a stable married type, preferably with children, yes, is the best to lead a church flock.

Now if there were no one else applying for the job, I’d have no problem with an unmarried guy save some small concerns. But you got an equally qualified married guy and I’m going with him.

so shoot me.
