Ever Gotten A Job As A Pregnant Woman? Lets Talk.. by Nobody: 1:49pm On Dec 05, 2017
Hi guys..

Ok i'm currently employed but due to some urgent and important reasons, I need to change my job ASAP.

For every application I've gone through, once they see i'm pregnant, (irrespective of how good my performance was), they just change their story.

I wonder if I'm the only one experiencing this?

Don't you think its unfair..

Please lets me hear your experience or opinion.. whether male or female..

Thanks..

Mods, i'll appreciate if this is on front page

So u expect them to employ you and after three or six months of settling in you go on salary receiving spree without work for another three months?

Depends on how far u have gone in the pregnancy. If u still within the first trimester, some coys might consider u based on competence.No coy would wanna employ a lady in her second or third trimester. All the best tho.

When you apply for a job and before 9 months, you're already demanding for leave of 3 months with pay. I think that's what employers consider before they employ pregnant women.

Getting a job as a pregnant woman can be difficult because unless U are well connected because, as a female the 1st consideration by employers is ur body, what U can use it to achieve

Who wants to employ a pregnant woman? Must company don't don't cuz the woman is still entitled to her 6months leave which will leave the position vacant and they will start afresh looking for who to fill the vacate. Most hiring managers will skip over a pregnant candidate every time.

Well my sister got a Govt job in Abuja when she was pregnant... It may be easy with government work but don't think a private establishment will unless you have "extra special" qualifications

It may bother them that you will have to go on maternity leave very soon. And that it will be a paid leave. Please keep trying. You may have to wait till after delivery too. Good luck.

Re: Ever Gotten A Job As A Pregnant Woman? Lets Talk.. by Nobody: 4:25pm On Dec 05, 2017
your pregnancy will of course hinder you of performing your duty as at when due if you're employed.
Re: Ever Gotten A Job As A Pregnant Woman? Lets Talk.. by Chumani(f): 4:27pm On Dec 05, 2017
Some get employed while being pregnant while some don't. i think it depends on the type of job involved. Good Luck To You.
Re: Ever Gotten A Job As A Pregnant Woman? Lets Talk.. by Myati: 4:28pm On Dec 05, 2017
It does seem discriminatory but I can understand why they'll not be open to accepting you. There are many factors to consider here including how far gone you're , maternity leave proposal and benefits.
They'd feel they'd lose in the long run



I'd say that unless you're facing a lot of problems at your current place of work. Stick with it till your maternity leave is over so that you can get your maternity pay. Then look for a job after you put to bed.

Cuz another thing worth considering is that even if you eventually land a new job you may not get any payment during your mat leave depending on the policy of the company.

That's far. My advice, focus on the pregnancy for now, even if you were working, by this time you ought to be on sick-leave, the stress wouldn't be good for you or the baby.

But seriously, nobody would want to employ you and send you on maternity leave the next few months. It's bad for their business
Re: Ever Gotten A Job As A Pregnant Woman? Lets Talk.. by chubysoft1(m): 4:34pm On Dec 05, 2017
My advice:
1.Stay where you are. After delivery, you can change jobs
2. Start a home/online business
