To apply for a job in these circumstances?

[elderflowerlemonade]

I have been wondering about getting back to work, and I have seen a couple of positions I could apply for.

I'm pregnant. Pretty massively so!

The jobs are teaching positions so I would be starting in January if I was to be successful.

WIBU to attend an interview resembling a whale ... And should I indicate on the application form I am pregnant? I know it shouldn't really be an issue but I can imagine it might get eyebrows raised if I turn up notably large if they haven't been prepped in advance so to speak.

Thank you.

I have used sitters.co.uk a few times now. They have always sent lovely, experienced ladies and seem to be able to rustle people us at quite short notice. It's not too expensive either (unlike an emergency nanny).

It sounds to me like your DH is trying to protect you, albeit not in the most helpful way! I would think being calm and in control about the interview process would be a good way to prove to him that you are now in a place where you can handle school again. Ghoul is right, schools are all different and finding a great one after a bad experience is the best way to get over it IMHO. It's working for me anyway.

Thank you. I'll keep working on him

I really hope you get the childcare. Fingers crossed for a successful interview!

Check out TES for interview questions and bullet point some answers, what size are you? I have some maternity work dresses that I am more than happy to send to you. I'm a size 8/10.

Are you going for the interview, OP?
