After a lot of struggles, both before and after my pregnancy I finally managed to find a job that suits me. I will be starting soon, and my employer doesn’t know that I have a one year old child. My husband thinks that marital status and whether you have children must be included in your CV in Switzerland. That seems strange to me because I have never seen that anywhere, and I think he might have misunderstood some information. During my interview, nobody asked me anything about my marital status or whether I have children. If they had, I would have been honest and told them. Now I’m not so sure anymore, and I’m wondering if this is actually standard practice in Switzerland. Should I have mentioned it during the interview, or was it completely fine not to? UPDATE: Thank you for all the answers. I feel much better about it now. For those who mention that I will have to fill out documents anyway, I know that. I wasn’t asking how to hide it or keep it a secret, but simply if I should include it on my CV or mentioned it during the interview. submitted by /u/Southern-Body1620
