TL;DR
Meta's smart glasses are outselling forecasts, and Even Realities is building privacy-first wearables for professionals. Interview etiquette is about to change, and most candidates have not noticed.
The shift
Building CVPilot, we see thousands of CVs a week, and one trend is becoming impossible to ignore. Interview wearables are crossing from gimmick to default. Within 18 months, "do you mind if I wear these?" will be as routine as "do you mind if I record?"
What it means for your CV
Three adjustments that matter when interviewers can fact-check claims in real time:
- Specificity over scale: numbers that survive instant verification
- Linkable evidence: portfolio, GitHub, case studies, all reachable in seconds
- Consistency: CV, LinkedIn, and personal site must align
The counterintuitive risk
The candidate most at risk from wearables is not the unprepared one. It is the over-prepared one. Live prompts make you stop listening. You answer the question you wished was asked, not the one in front of you.
Use wearables for the 90% of work that happens before and after the interview. During the 10% that is the interview itself, be present.

What's your take? Should wearables be allowed in interviews, banned, or disclosure-required?
