Pregnant and Job searching.. HELP
| Thu, 08-05-2004 - 11:30pm |
Hi ladies!! I need your advice. I'm currently a stay at home mom of Ava (8 months) and we are pregnant again (OOPS) and i'm already 5 months along. We just recently moved to a different state because my dh got a better job offer. This second pregnancy was unplanned and we were shocked with the news. Ever since we've moved (2 months ago) I have been job hunting but since we live in a small community it's not as easy as I thought it would be to get a job. Well, I just went to an interview today for an inbound sales position and they called me back for a second interview. I just don't know whether or not to let them know i'm pregnant because I don't want to be denied the position because we REALLY need the money. I plan on going back to work after our second child is born but i'm confused as to what I should do. Wait until i'm hired, then tell them or tell them in the 2nd interview and risk the chances of getting hired (which are high)!
Any advice?

Just my opinion however! Good luck to you!

Good luck!

Anyway, that's my two cents and it seems to be a win-win for both the new mama and the company. Good luck!

Think of it this way, if you were the boss, would you want to know that a potential employee will be taking several months off in a few months?

You can try working from home. If you are self-motivated, this is a great option. Visit the Work From Home board for ideas!
Good luck and congrats on the new baby,
