Hello,
I need some advice. I just started a new job yay! During the interview process EVERYONE asks what brought me to the city I live in from Seattle. I did not feel comfortable telling them it was for DH's medical school, meaning my time here is limited. So I would say for his "job". Then if they asked more, I would say he works in the medical field. Then if they asked where (there are multiple big providers here) I would say the institution he goes to school. I know personal questions are not even supposed to be asked during interviews so I don't really feel bad for stretching the truth. But now that I've started the job, I don't know how to bring it up. I know it's going to slip out of my mouth sometime. But I almost don't even want to tell my coworkers because I like keeping work and personal lives separate. But the spouse subject inevitably comes up during lunch sometime or something.
Has anyone else dealt with this? What did you do? How did it turn out?
Thanks!
