I am 28 weeks pregnant and need work because my fiance and I split a few months ago. I have financial responsibilities such as a mortgage and a young child already.
I have been hired to start tomorrow as a part time medical receptionist and they were ok with the fact that I am pregnant. I told them after the offer. She was shocked but ok.
Just got a call back on my interview for a company that I have experience with the industry. Selling telecommunications / network services. The sales manager was really nice and wanted to interview tomorrow afternoon. He said he has been interested in me for sometime and said he really hopes it works out.
I feel I should not tell him I am 28 weeks pregnant because I am worried he wont hire me. Either A) tell him once they offer or B) tell him 2 weeks after I start.
I feel confident I will land this job, but I am nervous to bail out on the medical reception position just incase I do not get the telecommunications job. Medical job is only part time and will always be a part time position she said because they do not want to offer medical benefits.
What Should I do?

Check out the laws. It may be illegal for them to ask if you are pregnant. In any case, I think that for the long term stability of the work relationship, you should be upfront about this. If you tell him two weeks in, and a couple months from now, take maternity leave for 6 months, even if you come back they will have it in for you. If you are up front about it, you may get the job or lose it but if you do get it, life will be easy in the future, and you guys can make a plan together. Maybe you can even sell part time by phone while the baby is young. I think if you consider this your first "sale" for the company, things will be off to an amazing start. Make it so he can't say no. |
