[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wouldnt they (potential employers) be negotiating what you are worth, not what you "need"? 
I agree with the pp that you wouldn't want to work for someone where they even take this ring into consideration.

Employers are people, and they are subconsciously affected by an applicant's appearance, regardless of how objective they or others may think they are. Anyone who does not put a thought into every item she wears or brings into the interview is not making the most of an opportunity, especially in this employers' market. [/quote]

I couldn't agree with this more. If I was interviewing for a job I really want, I would not wear anything that I thought might disadvantage me in the process. I would even remove my wedding ring for most places to eliminate any conscious or subconscious discrimination against moms or future moms. Like it or not, interviewers are human and they don't have to verbalized a prejudice but can still use it against you. An interview takes a few minutes or a few hours. I have no problem taking wedding or engagement rings off for that duration if I had any doubts.[/quote]
