Maybe I missed it, where did he say his name implied he had kids?

  "If they did read further, the next thing they saw (as politeness declared at the time) was a little personal information, and that declared I was married with kids."

    Ah, thank you!

    Your marital status and whether or not you have kids should NOT be on your CV. It's illegal for an employer to even ask about it in an interview.

      > It's illegal for an employer to even ask about it in an interview. I think you'd be hard pressed to find such a law. What you will more likely find that it is illegal for an employer to discriminate in hiring based on that information, and an employer asking the question in an interview is quite likely to be used in any lawsuit over alleged discrimination as evidence that they were, in fact, discriminating in hiring based on the information, since asking a question in an hiring interview is pretty compelling evidence of an intent to use the response in making hiring decisions.

        It likely depends on the country; for all practical purpose, it is illegal to ask this question in Canada.

        I think that asking such questions in an interview in the US can make it easier for people to sue if they don't get hired.

      He isn't an American. Not all countries have the same laws.
