Interview
I have a job interview tomorrow so I am wondering if I should let them know I am pregnant or not, I really need this job and don't want them to hire me because I'm pregnant.
Unless you don't want the job - after an interview, I was asked to come in for an unpaid trial (I was cool with that), but because they were looking for a long-term employee and training would take up to anywhere between 3-6 months I thought I'd best be honest and let them know I was pregnant (I'm a firm believer in Karma and also didn't want to risk anything when it came to physical work), the phonecall ended with, 'Ooh, okay. Congratulations, well I'll have a chat with my coworker and get back to you'. This was the boss and yea, I never heard anything back?
I would wait, but most places have a 60 or 90 day probationary period where you can be fired for any reason. This cannot be argued in court. My guess is if you get your foot in the door and do a good job, it won't matter. I got hired at 9 weeks as a waitress and spilled the beans at 12 weeks. It didn't seem to matter to any of my bosses. Good luck !!!
The general rule is to not tell them until you have an offer. I interviewed and received an offer at 11 weeks and I told them once I had the offer in hand since they then couldn't legally take away the offer. Since it is a corporate job though I knew I could preform it fully during pregnancy but that I'd just need maternity leave. Like PP have said if you would need a lot of special accommodations or not be able to preform the job duties then you may want to bring it up.
I was wanting to change my jobs when I realised we got pregnant and though I can't get another job when pregnant. I mean. Here there is usually 3 months probation and if u let them know before they can make up a reason to not to give u a permanent contract. Also was worried I would not get paid maternity as I would only have been with the employer for a short time beforehand.
It's news to me that people are looking for new jobs while pregnant... :D
You go ladies! Best of luck and fingers crossed for all of you!
I'm also looking for a new job at the moment, and I've decided that I won't say anything till I get an offer. That way they've already made their decision without my pregnancy being a factor, and then I can ask questions about how maternity leave works. Of course, if it takes much longer I won't have to say anything ?
I would wait until you get an offer I would probably tell them then or fairly soon after starting especially if you are close to half way. I got outed with my last pregnancy and it was really awkward for me ?You may not qualify for certain maternity benefits I know my last company it was 6 months of employment my new company is a year so we had to wait, so you also want to make sure you understand what you will get for leave and what not before it's too late. But good luck hope everything works out ????
I wouldn't. It's against the law for them to ask you, or use it against you. But usually in interviews I ask do you see yourself needing any Length of time off in the near future to all my applicants that way I know what I need to plan for. As long as it's a job where you won't need any modified duties due to your pregnancy. Unfortunately many employers won't want to take the risk because we are more of a liability i do know someone who got a full time job with benefits at 5 months pregnant tho! Good luck!!
Legally, you don't have to tell them and they cannot ask...
but it's up to you. If you feel that it would affect your job or your ability to do the job, you may want to mention it to make sure that reasonable accommodations can be made for you.
But if the pregnancy won't affect your job, then it shouldn't matter.
I didn't tell my interviewer in my interview because I was still in the first trimester, and hadn't told many people. I start the job next week and will have to eventually start telling people.
So I have a job interview I'm 28 weeks pregnant...should I tell them I'm pregnant?
soooo nervous for my interview at Carters today. like seriously, I'm 24 weeks pregnant and can't really hide it. and what happens if I get the job.... when do I tell them I am pregnant if somehow they couldn't tell to begin with? lol Praying I get this job I need it so bad!
So I got the job I am beyond happy but should I be concerned that they don't know I am pregnant ? And when is the right time to tell them
If you are pregnant during a job interview do you tell them you are pregnant right away or do you wait a little longer if you get hired to say something ?
Interview
I have an interview coming up next week, doing what I do but making a lot more. I'm debating if I should tell them I'm pregnant during the interview or wait until I get the offer. I don't want them to turn me down bc I'm pregnant, but I also don't want to take the job without them knowing I will have to take a leave in a few months.
How did it go?
