DD is 5 months old, and I'm due to go back to work in a few months. My job is quite far (1.5 hour commute) from where I live and they are still to confirm whether I can reduce my hours from FT to 4 days per week.
I applied for a job the other day and was pretty sure I wouldn't hear back from them - either at all, or at least for a few weeks. Got a very quick response asking me to do a phone interview tomorrow!
My quandry is - do I disclose I am on maternity leave? If so, when?
This is a great opportunity for me at a company just round the corner from my house. I would have to work FT and, I imagine, do some travelling but not as many anti-social hours as current role.
My current job requires me to give them three months' notice, which I will obviously have to let the interviewer know at some point. This is not that unusual for industry/level. BUT do I say I am on mat leave? I don't want to scupper my chances but I would rather be open and the idea of keeping 'secret' doesn't sit well with me.
Thoughts??
