Getting a job

I have an interview in about an hour and half. I'm almost 10 weeks pregnant. Should I tell them right off the bat or wait until after my first OB appointment ( Read more... )

is it safe?, announcing the pregnancy, working while pregnant

I see what your saying. Like I said, I don't know yet, if anything I'd slice my hours way down.. like 10hrs a week (2 shifts).. The job is a 'fast food' Italian eatery (Villa) in the Mall of America. So, maybe I shouldn't be so worried? It's not like it's a big (need a diploma/put it on ur resume) type of job.

I'm a fast food manager, and I can say that when you have a high turnover rate and a quick training schedule, you don't worry that much about people who can't commit to long term. I would feel fine hiring someone who could commit to three months, especially if I thought she'd be good at the job and would come back (even with few hours) after the baby was born. It's possible the place you've applied at has a lower turnover rate than where I work, in which case they might be pickier, given the choice. But I wouldn't feel too guilty about it.

I really don't know about that yet. It'll depend on our financial situation and if I really need to have one. Like I said, we just recently moved, and we just need some extra cash to pay off those bills (credit cards and such) and just put some money away for baby, ect. :)

But I think I will wait to tell them about the pregnancy until after our first OB appointment.
