Finding a job

[sockgirl77]

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?

WELL.........that's out for a while..........

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.

As Rose said ,what are your qualifications ?

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.

Go sign up for a substitute teaching job.

Manpower?

I really think she should call Tigger for some advice.

Sockgirl,

Hopefully, this will help. Good Luck in your search.

Have you thought about something you can do from your home? Baby sitting? Some doctor's office and other companies hire homebased workers to transcribe their notes.

A BIG . I got hired by a defense contractor when I was 7 months prego and trust me - I was HUGE! All I did was search for a dress that kinda "hung" on me like a set of drapes. It was a horrid dress, but it did the job!

A month later my boss actually admitted that he would've never hired me had he known I was prego.
