Just wondering what is the best way to (elegantly) explain in a job interview that I'm on maternity leave? Have been job hunting because my current workplace has no long-term prospects/is imploding.
Didn't mention it on my CV or in cover letter. Technically I'm not really on maternity leave anymore, I'm doing a small amount of hours remotely until my official back-in-the-office date (both of my mat covers quit!).
New job is one I would be quite good at but it is a big step up in terms of responsibility and money.
I do really want to get this job. Obviously if they discriminate against me for being on mat leave it's probably not the kind of place I want to work for anyway. But I would like to do it as neatly as possible, in a way that doesn't make a big deal of it.
Thank you wise MNers....
