Interestingly, it should be 'What before, marital status?!'.

Check out the early Bill Gates resume from the 90s, he listed his weight and marital status and apparently that was like totally normal.

90s seems late for that sort of thing in the US. But it definitely used to be pretty common.

That it's Bill Gates should probably indicate that "90s" is wrong: what job is Bill Gates applying for in the 90s?

It's actually from the mid-70s, apparently.

You're right of course. Duh. Yes, and mid-70s makes a lot more sense for that kind of thing.
