Pregnant and working
No work
*
@Mandy,
Quick question: You're 6 months pregnant, do you really have to work? Because if your due date is in 3 months, the baby will be born then?
How do you see it yourself, and how does your partner feel about you giving birth first and then looking for a suitable job again...
I did get an invitation for open application letters a few years ago, but that was a while back.
You might have a chance for maybe temporary work through an agency, but honestly, I don't think so since there are a lot of people looking for jobs.
Don't get me wrong, I don't mean it negatively at all, but I think you have less chance on the job market right now due to the pregnancy.
Although I find it weird that you wouldn't be able to find a job when you're pregnant. But you also have to think about the fact that you start, and then after a few weeks you go on maternity leave, and maybe you've just gotten used to the job...
See what you want and can handle; applying can't hurt.
Cheers Ju

@Ju,
I should’ve mentioned it earlier, but it was indeed meant for after the birth. I have to be honest, I don’t even want to think about it right now, hehe.
I just find it really unpleasant to think about being jobless in the future. It’s okay for a little while, but eventually, I’ll need to get back to work, and I’m not sure when I should start
in this situation.
Thanks for your honest response!
Greetings, Mandy -

@Mandy,
Yeah, it might have been handy, but no worries at all..
Just enjoy being pregnant for now and getting through those first 3 months..
Love, Ju -

Hi Mandy, how's it going now? -

Hey Mandy,
My partner got his job 3 years ago thanks to a speculative application and got a permanent contract last year. 1 out of 2000 people last year (nationally)!
In his case, it was a matter of "right time, right place". So it can happen! -

You could optionally respond to job postings where they're looking for someone starting from, say, February (or another month)—that happens too. Then you can even just honestly say that you'd like to get back to work after your pregnancy.
