[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My wife AND family attend the annual board meeting. It is offsite at a five star resort over several days.

My wife also attends company holiday party and annual board dinner.  My wife and family have been invited twice on job interviews out of state.

You can tell a lot by a persons family.

If a spouse is not on board male or female with their spouses job and career not going to work.

And your spouse and kids better behave. The “cut of one’s jib” is important.

That's actually a salient point. How many CEOs and VPs are being interviewed with their families on-site? Is it at the 5th interview? The 6th? I saw a post a few weeks' ago about a person who had to travel to meet their boss and it turns out they were requested to meet with the CEO in surprise the same day.

Corporations do want to know you're surrounded by acceptable people.[/quote]

Seems kinda messed up to ding a candidate based on their family. What if a kid is special needs? Or spouse has a disability? What if the candidate is single or lives with a partner?

Really weird to assess a candidate based on their family. [/quote]
