So I applied for a new job...*short update*
Permalink Closed

.. it's awesome... I just applied for the heck of it, I didn't think they would contact me ...

Wellll... the guy emailed me back yesterday and wants to meet with me today! I wrote him back and told him that I was ready to pop in about 5 weeks and that if he were willing to work something out with me, I would only take 6 wk maternity and so on and so forth. He wrote back and said to come in today and we will discuss it.

What should I do? What should I say at the interview? I feel stupid for sending my resume over, but this is a REALLY good job opportunity, only 15 min away from my house and paying more!


ETA:
Interview went well, he said if I were to get the position, he would wait until I had the baby and took my maternity leave ... he said he did have another 2-3 weeks of meetings and interviews - i'll keep you guys posted, thanks for all the well wishes

Take it, take it!   It sounds great and if he didn't sound put off on the phone by your pregnancy, then it does sound like a great opportunity.

That is such great news. That is great too that he still wants to talk to you after you told him you are pregnant. Congrats and keeps us updated.

Good luck!  I really hope you get this job.  Just act like you normally would and say what you normally say at an interview.  They know you're pregnant and you already told them you would take a shorter maternity leave.  If you are the best candidate for the job, you will get it.  Crossing my fingers...

I think that you should go for it!!!  You're miserable where you're at and if this new place is willing to work around your maternity leave, I think it sounds like a good place to work.  Good luck!
