Advice needed about a job interview!
Hi all.
Jus thad a dilemma I'm hoping you ladies could help with, particularly anyone who works in HR, or anyone who might have been in a similar position.
I am currently 9 weeks pregnant. I submitted an application for a new job in the place that i already work- it's a lovely job, suited much better to my skills than what I'm currently doing, went to have a chat with the lady and it just seems perfect. I've been invited to interview next week, and wonder if I should tell them at the end of my interview that I'm pregnant... I'd feel that I had deceived them a bit if i was offered the job, accepted and then said, by the way... I'm having a baby in October.... am having conflicting advice from friends, some say keep quiet, others say come clean... i basically don't want to annoy them... but I would love the job. And if I didn't get, i'd love for them to interview me just so that they knew about me and my skills in case anything came up in the office in future.
What do you guys think?
Thank you!

But as you say, you dont want to decieve anybody. But knowing you're pregnant may make them less likely to give you the job.

I applied for three jobs, of which two where under her and she hired me straight away. She knew I would not stay till the end and still she offered the job.
It could work out well. It could also backfire and you would not get the job. I would feel very cross as a boss if you would not have told me, but would still consider you if you would have told me. But it is just what you feel better about.
