Job Interview at 31 wks

I just got a call for a job interview.  I was up front with them and told them about my pregnancy and that I'm due in  about 7 weeks.  She says, "Well, it's not supposed to matter that you're pregnant, but I'm not sure that's going to work."  They want me to come in for the interview anyway.  I'm a little disappointed because I've been out of work for almost a year and we really need the money, but maybe it's for the best.

wow- i'm shocked they actually said that to you! I mean, we all know that is what they THINK but to say it? not wise.

but i can see their point- you are pg with twins and could be out of work any day now (i have been out since 27w).... they need someone to fill a spot- so why would they hire someone who would basically be out for many weeks/months before they could start? ya know - that is tricky.

i would go for the interview anyway - every interview you can get is good practice if you get the job or not - and who knows- maybe you'd be the only qualified candidate and they'd be OK with waiting for you to start rather than hire someone else who sucks?

Thanks Goldie!  That's exactly what I was thinking.  I don't even know if I could handle taking on the job at this point.  But, we'll see what happens.

What kind of work is it? Would they be willing to hold on the hire if they really like you?

The position is director of a non-profit.  I applied for the position in January, and they are just now interviewing for it.  I don't know if they would hold for a few more months or not.
