Quick Poll! - To tell or not to tell!

[Mands81]

Hi All,
Quick Poll: Dream job interview tomorrow. 13 weeks pregnant.
Who would tell and who wouldn't?!
Thanks in advance x

Dont tell. Decide if/once you've got the job.

Ps it's an internal vacancy so maternity pay still stands etc x

Don't tell until after an offer!

Don't tell. You can decide once they've made their decision.

Don't tell.

Don't tell

Being pregnant has nothing to do with how qualified you are to do the job. It's the type of info that would belong on an equal opportunities form were employers allowed to ask & would be kept seperate to the info the interviewers see. It's not relevant.

Don't put yourself at a disadvantage, tell them if you're offered the job.

Good luck!

Don't tell!!!! They say being pregnant doesn't influence decisions but they can do it in a sneaky way, wait until they've made there's before you tell

Don't tell.
If you get it you can tell them then, you legally don't need to tell them till 25 weeks

I would not tell - you have legal obligation to do so. It may or may not prejudice their opinion, BUT if you do not get it you can think ok, I wasn't right etc, but if you told and got rejected, you would always wonder if the reason was the pregnancy, and may become resentful of the firm and these colleagues etc....

p.s. GOOD LUCK!

It's definitely not tell then!
Thanks everyone x

Good luck!

Good luck!

How did you get on?

I didn't tell them
Went ok I think, find out in the next week or so.
Thanks for advice x

Oooh fingers crossed for ya!

I'd tell, but given no one else would my sympathy definitely lies with employers on this front. If they are a good employer it will make no difference to them but they may feel you have been less than honest which will colour their view of you, and your future opportunities. If they are the type of employer who would discriminate you probably don't want to work for them anyway as once you announce your pregnancy they may well make your life difficult. Employment is a two way street and there needs to be respect and honesty on both sides.

Don't tell, not relevant.
