I have an interview in a few minutes for a general shop cashier job; although I wore a loose flowy top - it's pretty evident I'm pregnant. Should I mention it? Like work it into my reasoning or anything...

Yes I would , but that just means you will be that much more dedicated to being at work because you need the job .

I always avoided mentioning I was pregnant at interviews because although they technically aren’t allowed to take that into consideration, some people do.

I would not either.

Nope, wouldn’t mention it. It’s not necessary.

I definitely wouldnt. By law they cant ask about kids.. Ect. My old college professor always told us not to open the door and talk about kids bc even though they arent allowed to discriminate, they do and would likely pick someone without kids since they could just say you wasnt a right fit for the job. After you're hired and show your work ethic, its a different story ❤ fingers crossed you get it!

Thank y'all - I didn't mention it. In no way did it feel necessary in the flow of the interview. Girl interviewing was a year or two younger than me and we were a great duo - find out in a few hours if I got it (I think I did)!

Update: got passed. Didn't get it 😞

I work in HR and I would advise not to. Wait until it is absolutely obvious, then you might want to mention it but be prepared because although they can’t fire you because you’re pregnant they could fire you “based on performance” No need to tell them and by law they can’t even ask!

Hope you get it

I wouldn't. Made that mistake in an interview before I got my current job. This time I waited until I couldnt hide it anymore and it was fine.
