I have been struggling with an ethical dilemma these past few days. I found a job I would really like to apply for. It is part-time in a school setting and the work would be healthy for during a pregnancy. I had the cover letter all mentally composed. Then I thought, "How do I interview and not tell them I'm pregnant?" This is assuming they even call me for an interview. And I know that legally it shouldn't be an issue. I even believe I could walk in and they wouldn't be able to tell. But I would know. And I would feel like I was tricking them somehow if they hired me. So I decided to apply anyway. If they call for an interview I'm going to be upfront and honest. Not start out with the announcement, but work around to it after they are dazzled by my personality. It's probably dumb but I can't do it any other way. Either they want to hire me for the 5 months I have left or not. What do I have to lose by giving it a shot?

I say give it a shot, whytheheck not...if it's something you are qualified for and something you'd really enjoy and benefit from then go for it...who knows, if you go for it, get it and love it, and they love your work, they may not even concern themselves with you being pregnant, and welcome you back after maternity leave and such...

I'd say go for it also! In my company, if they like you enough, they'll keep your position on matter how long you've been here.
I'll keep my fingers crossed!
Good luck hon!

That is a difficult decision, but I say go for it.
