I so want it to be a cheeky way of saying divorced.
On a more serious note - who the hell puts marital status on their CV, anyway?
+1, I often jokingly refer (verbally) to my marital status as free, being a divorcee, but don't put in on a cv or on any agency or other forms that ask for it
If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, quacks like a duck,it must be a duck
Had a CV of an Italian today. Under marital status he wrote "free". I am not sure what to make of it.
Any suggestions?
It’s a European thing, it shows a level of maturity that perhaps a single 20something wouldn’t. (read: will be at home with Wife rather than out drinking & trying to pull every night)
In Switzerland it’s quite normal to include a photo, similar reasons.
Not something I’d do in the UK, but when I think of the number of telephone interviews I’ve passed & then been for a face to face just to prove I own a suit and don’t have two heads it could be a good idea.
