In an interview should you mention your children?

Question

I was curious to know if mentioning your children was a wise thing to do...

Answer 1

good question--it probably depends on the type of job. Does the job affect your personal/homelife? In a job thay may require some travel, maybe not mentioning the kids would be wise, since the hirer may think your kids would affect your job, but in another job (like a preschool job), having kids would be a plus. I'd say play it by ear and if it comes up (your kids), don't lie, just give honest answers. And good luck!
