I apologize in advance for the provocative title, but I am utterly disgusted by the human race sometimes, and I really need to rant here, because only people in this subreddit will fully understand my indignation. Trigger warning - child abuse mentioned My line of work is directly connected to helping women and children, victims of domestic abuse, sexual assault and human trafficking. I've encountered numerous cases so far and the job truly takes its toll sometimes, but I don't remember ever being this livid supposed victim. Without going into too much detail:We have a client whom we are helping with legal aid and psychological counselling, due to her having escaped an abusive relationship with a guy much older than herself, with whom she has a 3 and a half year old little girl. The guy seems to be part of some cult-like belief system and even has a youtube channel where he makes some weird "spiritual" music videos. In the light of a custody battle they are having in the past few months, something else came into the attention of the court - something vile and turned out that the little girl has been molested by her own father every time she was left with him for the few hours visit he was child has been interviewed by specialists from CPS, the father has been arrested and his apartment searched.
I'm currently visibly pregnant and have been in discussions with a recruiter looking to fill a position that I'm very interested in. The company has not yet opened it officially or publicly, so it is allowing me to get considered early. I have not mentioned my "condition" but there will be no hiding it when an interview is scheduled (not sure of exact timeline - but presumably prior to the birth). Would this be seen as misleading? What are the chances that this would hurt my standing? Background: I'm currently employed in a leading company in my field, with relevant work experience and exceptional achievements (just looking for a change and new experiences) -- I would consider myself a "catch" in all other aspects:) EDIT: thank you for all the great comments and advice! I have decided to treat this like any other personal piece of information (marital status, number of kids, etc) - I would never go out of my way to disclose this information "upfront" as it has nothing to do with my potential at the given position.
the dislike for men now is so strong I dont even think im really attracted to them on a serious level. i just wanna use them. thasssit! but thankyou for listening i just needed to get that off of my chest. and before you ask, yes im taking therapy but that can only do so much.
Once the interview is scheduled, there's no hiding the belly and ultimately, I'm there to represent myself and what I can bring to the company. If they judge me for it, then it's not a company that I'd ultimately want to work for.
