Hi everyone,
I've seen a job advertised within the company I currently work for and would really like to apply for it.
The problem is I am in my 2nd trimester and everyone at work knows about it, including HR and the people who will be interviewing me (should I get that far).
If I got the job I would have to go on maternity leave 2 months later.
Good jobs hardly ever come up within my company and it feels like I have waited years for this to come along.
My other half is willing to work part time and look after the baby when I go back to work.
My current job is only guaranteed for 6 months after the baby is born, so I could end up being unemployed during maternity leave.
Should I apply? Do I risk embarassing myself by doing so? Is it unreasonable for me to apply? Legally if I was the best candidate would they have to employ me? (providing they don't think of another reason not to, although my employers are pretty reasonable).
Thanks for your help :)
