Reflecting on How Marriage Discrimination Affects My Job Search Experience

I've been reflecting on how marriage discrimination might be affecting my job search lately. It's a topic I've been curious about, especially since I've been struggling to land a job for the past few months. I've heard that married women might face more discrimination during hiring because employers assume they have family commitments, while younger single women might be overlooked due to concerns about future family plans. In my own experience, I even joked about wearing a ring to interviews, thinking it might change how I'm perceived. I can't help but wonder if being single is working against me, as some employers might think I'm more likely to want to start a family soon, which could lead them to hesitate on hiring me. I've looked into this issue but mostly found articles focused on married women after they've been hired or advice on balancing work and family, rather than addressing the hiring stage itself. It's frustrating to think that my marital status could be impacting my chances of getting a job.
