I just lost my job 2 weeks ago, I was working for a temp agancy. The job just ended I knew it was temp just though it was supposed to last till december. Anyway I told my employer(the temp agency i was pregnant about 16 weeks. Well now the job ended and I need another job and I think they dont want to place me now because they know i am pregnant. I have called them to get place they are not returing my calls, or emailing me telling me that nothing is available even though i see the posting on the website. Now i am showing and I need a job. I already have 2 kids and this is the 3rd one and i think me and my finance will end soon cause its just not working out. I have applied for several jobs and they have one that I know is right for me I just dont know if i should be upfront or wait. its crazy both ways for me because if i tell them upfront then i might not get it and if I wait they might think I am liar and i should have told them. I am a hard working and dont want special treatment i will work till the baby is ready to come out. Please help and give advice
Re: Help dont know what to do
I went for a job interview 2 days ago. I did not tell the interviewer that I am pregnant (it was none of his business). I am 24 weeks and luckily still able to hide it. I am now being called in for a second interview next week. I will tell them if I get a job offer. IMO I do not believe it matters unless you get offered the job. Maybe you just need to start looking outside of the temp agency for jobs. It would bypass that problem and who knows you might find a better job.
Good luck with your search.
In your situation, I would not tell them until you have signed an offer letter / contract.
You are not obligated to tell them, and legally they cannot deny you the job due to pregnancy unless being pregnant will keep you from performing job functions (ie, lifting heavy things, etc).
Agree - keep it to yourself. Shouldn't be a factor. If the temp agency doesn't seem to be helping you - I'd start looking elsewhere!
