Job interview- when should I tell them I'm pregnant? And how should I dress? |
I have an interview at a garden center on Monday, so the atmosphere is pretty casual. Should I dress casual for the interview? Let's start with what you should wear. I think for any interview you should dress for success. I would say if it's more casual you should wear black dress pants and a nice blouse or something (don't go too casual - especially not in jeans!). Wear what's comfortable for you. You should tell the interviewer that you are pregnant and what your plans are. I am a Supervisor at my company and we brought in a woman that we didn't know was pregnant (you can't ask legally) and the whole reason we brought her in was to cover for a woman who was pregnant and going to be leaving on maternity. Turns out both of them were due at the same time so we really hurt with our productivity because she didn't come out and tell us. Fortunately she worked out really well and we kept her anyway (she was contract). It's just a nice courtesy and respect for you to tell them you are pregnant. Another thing is, you are saying you would come back part time after the baby is born? They need to know that expectation... in addition, do you even know if it's an option??? Proper etiquette is to tell them you are PG, be mature about it and cross your fingers that you'll get the job. :) I want to commend you for looking for a job while pregnant. I think that working at a nursery sounds like a great job, but I also have some concerns. Is it smart to have a job where you're required to be in the summer heat ALL the time? Also, it's very physically demanding. You said that it is a small family business, so I'm going to assume that the benefits may not be the greatest. The owners may be apprehensive of taking on a pregnant employee for fear of driving up insurance costs. They may not hire you. If you can afford it I would wait until after I have the baby b/4 I go back to work. |
