Finding a job

*sockgirl77* ^(Premo) · 01-14-2004, 12:06 PM

I am pregnant and having a hard time finding a job. I need a part time job that I won't be on my feet all day. Any suggestions?

My only suggestion is to hide your pregnancy. Employers will suddenly find a "more qualified" candidate. Pretend you are just fat, if you have to. And never tell them you are looking for a "low stress" job. Everyone has stress in their job and everyone believes they have a lot of stress, compared to others.

I can't hide it. My tummy is poking out. I don't look fat, just pregnant.

What are your qualifications? Have you considered temping?

I have done temping off and on for 8 years. They don't have any part time work now. It's coming closer to tax season so the work might pick up. It's hard for me to take an office job because I have no office attire that fits me, nor can I buy any.

Vintage Values might have some maternity stuff for cheap.

Do you plan on taking time off after the birth of your child or going right back to work?

I have mostly been in the secretarial field. I have 8 years of experience.
