I am about to start looking for a new job, the first time I have done so since having DD.
One of the things I'm a bit concerned about is the informal, post-interview small-talk that can sometimes happen - when you're being shown out, waiting for the lift etc. I know interviewers are not able to ask you about your children / plans for a family. But how should I respond if, once the formal interview is over, they say something like 'blah blah... do you have children?' How can you respond to that without coming over all clammed-up because technically they shouldn't be asking me this, or leaving them with a metaphorical post-it note on my interview notes saying 'Mother' with all the assumptions that often brings...
Anyone have a good response I can keep in my back pocket for this kind of scenario?!
