Would you disclose details about your pregnancy during a face-to-face interview?
I'm interviewing with Barclays and Santander next week, and I'll be 32 weeks pregnant. My bump is very visible, and I'm also concerned that my suits don't fit anymore!
Are interviewers allowed to ask about my pregnancy?
If they aren't allowed to ask, but do anyway, how should I respond?
Should I disclose my due date and how much leave I intend to take?
Discrimination is really difficult to prove in this situation, as they will no doubt find another reason for not progressing my application. I feel the chances of success are slim (because I will certainly have maternity leave, whereas other candidates may not), but at least I get interview practice and I better understand the challenges working mothers face.
