How to get a new job?

[lamontane]

I'm 7 weeks. I'm in school and have a student job. But I'm looking to get a job with more hours and take off school for the summer to save. U can do home health aid or maybe cashier. How do I go about telling them I'm pregnant. I don't want to wait til I'm working let them figure it out and then lose a job. I want to be upfront.

Thanks guys. I think the home health place I used to work for may be fine with it but it's so hard to get a job here in southern IL. I'm hoping to have better luck since some ppl will be leaving or graduating for SIU. I really would like to get into ALDI. They pay well and you sit all day. But I've applied b4 and didn't get hired there.

Also, i would wait and see what type of hours they give without knowing you are pregnant. Employers tend to give pregnant women sympathy that we didnt ask for.

I agree. If a girl is pregnant she's pregnant not dying. Nobody should hire u then fire u once they c or hear ur pregnant.

Honestly I wouldn't say anything until you hit the 12-13 week mark because your miscarriage rate drops drastically, so hurry and get a job and wait out till then , they can't fire you over it and of they do you can just take them to court... Take advantage of this window of opportunity you have

I wouldn't flat out say ur pregnant during an interview but that when u get the job just explain to them ur currently pregnant n so placing u with proper patients is needed! I'll b 27 weeks pregnant in 2 days. Ima CNA n do home health care. My boss is full aware of my situation n is happy for me. She gives me patients who require no lifting. They should b able to work with u if that's the sorta job u wanna do. Good luck.
