WWYD

So i had a job interview this afternoon.  It went really well, and I'm pretty sure I'll be called in for a second.  The problem is that the busiest time for this position is February, and since it would potentially be my first year there, I don't see myself getting any time off when baby comes. 

Assuming they call me for a second interview, do I tell them on the phone that I have a potential placement in Feb, or do I wait until I get to the interview and make them love me?

  • Also, Cali, YGM.  Please read it and don't do that thing you do where you just never open your mail.  Really, though, the sooner you answer me, the sooner I can answer you.

  • I would interview for the second round. You are just making an assumption about the possibility of getting time off and writing yourself out of the position based upon that.
  • I would wait until you had a job offer before mentioning it.  It's not their business that you're pregnant.

    Sometimes I wonder if scientists have never seen a sci-fi movie before. "Oh yes, let's create a super species of deer. NOTHING COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG." I wonder if State Farm offers a Zombie Deer Attack policy. -CaliopeSpidrman
  • Thanks Mouse!  I'm due February 8 and I'm showing like a mofo.

  • I'd wait until they offer you the job.

  • I'd do the second interview. Even if it doesn't pan out, it's good to keep your skills sharp.

    And if you had just continued denying your pregnancy, you could have been on I Didn't Know I Was Pregnant and been like the lady who's all "Surprise!" when her husband comes home and he's all "OMG WHO DID YOU CUT THAT BABY OUT OF AND IS THE LADY STILL ALIVE?" because she never even went to a damn hospital.

  • I could just wait until I start and act like we just got the placement, but I'd have to be there for a year for FMLA to cover me, which means they'd be within their rights to replace me if I took any real time off.
