11:58 | [Comment From Kerri]
I find myself in the unenviable position of relocating back to Massachusetts after several years out of state, at a time when I'll be about 7 months pregnant. I'm an attorney, have been practing for 4 years, and I will be looking for employment outside of the big-firm environment. I wonder if it's worth it for me to begin looking now, wait until I actually get there, or wait until after I have my child? I understand the anti-discrimination laws, but, practically speaking, I'm concerned about the first impression I make when I walk in the door for an interview (if I should be so lucky). Do employers even consider hiring someone who may have to be out for several weeks, or who may not be able to start for several weeks (especially in this economy)? As you can see, I'm having trouble devising my strategy, and your thoughts are appreciated. |
