Looking For A Job Whilst Pregnant

[mister_molly 0]

Hi everyone!

I'm really curious if there is anyone out there who has successfully snagged a job whilst preggers?

I was working for my company for almost 13years but had to resign in April due to pregnancy... So I have been trying to look for a suitable job for the past month... Did not do so earlier coz my first 3 months were totally exhausting and I was busy with the house reno, and now the boredom has set in.

wld like to know if there are any tips I can follow, the do's and don't's when going for interviews. I went for one interview, but the moment I mentioned PREGNANT, their faces changed.....

So any advice is greatly appreciated!

Thanks

NOPE. that is the truth. Once you tell companies you are pregnant , they will reject you immediately.

Unless you telll them you do not mind PT jobs and u also dont want the maternity bonus given to u.

I started giving private home tuition after I found out that I was pregnant and resigned from my previous job.

It's a very flexible 'job' and a great way to kill your boredom and exercise your brain cells.

In between giving tuitions, I go shopping, yoga or spend time at the library reading books on pregnancy and parenthood..

i have a friend who managed to get a job when she was pregnant. the company wasn't perturbed by the fact that she was pregnant at all, which i think was nice.. although sad to say, she lost her baby already....

but most companies wouldn't think of hiring if you are pregnant.. they can't be training your for a couple of months and you have to take maternity leave for another couple of months, it's not cost efficient in business perspective.

Congras on your pregnancy.

Depends on your skills. If you have highly marketable skill sets, employers probably wouldn't mind.
