Hi Ladies!
So I'm having a spot of bother at the moment. My partner and I have just given up fairly decent jobs in London, to move back home to Cornwall and start our little family. We didn't think it would be this quick, but we've already fallen pregnant, and I'm now 6 weeks along. (Yay!)
My partner has been incredibly lucky to walk into a job almost identical to the position he held in London (he works primarily as a camera man, so we're a bit worried he wouldn't find anything down here!). But I'm really struggling to find work, as well as convince my mother that everything will be okay and pregnant women no longer have to sit in confinement for 9 months 🙄
Should I be honest with any potential employers from the outset? Or should I tell them only once I hit the 12 week mark? Should I be looking at taking anything I can find, or hold out for something nice in an office where I can be sat down all day?!
Annoyingly I worked as a Deputy Stage Manger in London, something that works well for pregnant women because you only work for about 5 hours each evening, and you're sat down for the most part! We just couldn't afford the London lifestyle any more. I have a years experience working in administration, but I have to admit I'm really struggling to get noticed down here!
Anyone else had to job hunt whilst pregnant?
