I have a funny situation. I'm finishing a university in May, and I am already 7 weeks pregnant. (Btw, I'm 25, this is not my first uni. Long story ).
I am supposed to start looking for jobs now, but I am not sure what's the point of it. If I will come to an interview with a big round bump, am I likely to get a job??? Who would need to take a graduate on a full-time position, knowing that she is going to take a maternity leave any time soon?
I am rather confused about the situation. My husband says there is no point in applying. He says I should apply a year or so after we have the baby (not sure how we will cope financially though, as even now I have a part-time job which is not going to last much longer).
And my parents keep telling me that if I don't get a job as soon as I leave the uni, I will miss the opportunity, and no-one will offer me a job in a year etc. They say I don't want to become a housewife (although at the moment it feels like this is exactly what I want lol)
So far I think I better apply for positions as it's still only 7 weeks, you know. But I have no idea what to do if I will be actually offered a position.
I know it's my decision. I'm just wondering if anyone was in a similar situation? Or maybe has any thoughts on this?
