I’m curious what other people would do in this situation.

I have a job interview today for a front office position at a dental office. I’m currently 20 weeks pregnant, but I’m not really showing yet, so someone meeting me for the first time probably wouldn’t know unless I told them.
Part of me feels weird not mentioning it because if I get hired, they’ll obviously find out eventually. I don’t want to start a new job feeling like I wasn’t upfront.
On the other hand, I asked ChatGPT about it, and it said not to bring it up during the interview because it’s not relevant to whether I can do the job, and that it’s generally better to discuss it after receiving an offer if I choose to.
Now I’m torn. I want to be honest, but I also don’t want to unintentionally hurt my chances if someone has unconscious bias.
If you were in my shoes, would you tell them during the interview, wait until after an offer, or not mention it until it naturally comes up? Especially interested in hearing from anyone who’s been pregnant while job hunting or anyone who hires employees.

Hello so to give some context , I applied for a Job early in the year and was rejected. I am interning at my place of employment ( i only go in twice a week) but I was told to reapply and I didn’t need to do the interview again.im basically just waiting to hear about my job offer ( waiting on the letter since I’m the candidate of choice).

The issue is I have two vacations planned through the year already, one that will take two days off of me during the week and the other probably three or four days .

When should I mention I need these days off? When I receive my offer letter or wait till after when I start. For context this will be a state government job

In February 2024, after 9 years, I lost my job at a major tech company due to poor management, having gone through six managers in about five months. Several months later, I secured a part-time job as an administrative assistant, making about half as prior job, at a benefits company, with the promise that I would transition to full-time within 3 to 6 months. After six months, I inquired about this and was told it wasn’t possible yet. This October will mark two years since I started.

For the past several months, I’ve been informed that our new CFO, who came in with a lot of issues from his predecessor, is not allowing me to move to full-time. However, two weeks ago, I was finally told I could work regular part-time hours, meaning I can now work over 30 hours, with a maximum of 40 hours, and receive benefits. After being jerked around by HR for two weeks about signing up for benefits, I was finally able to enroll yesterday. Unfortunately, the cost of my benefits is over double that of others because “it’s prorated for 30 hours,” even though I will be working 40 hours most weeks.

In my first year, I brought in over $100,000 for the company through my work, in addition to handling tasks that were not paid for by clients. I’ve developed many new systems that were never requested when I started and have streamlined efficiency, making things significantly better for everyone else. Everyone in my direct office says they couldn’t do their jobs without me, and no one else could fill my role. It has taken me this long to develop these systems, and it hurts so much to feel that all my hard work over the past two years is unappreciated.

I need to see a doctor, but I can’t because I can’t get insurance. Right now, I’m sitting outside work, crying and not wanting to go in. I can’t afford to quit. I love this job, but the corporate environment is incredibly frustrating.

I did update my resume last night

So... i recently got laid off, like last month, and I've been putting in application. My first job in highschool I spent a year there, but I was still a minor and I had to move for custody reasons. My second job I got laid off. Would employers see this as a red flag?

I’m guessing I can’t, but I’m not finding straight forward answers.
I have a past time job that’s about 20 hours a week. My organization is hiring for a totally separate part-time (approximately 20 hours a week) role in a separate department.
Could I work both roles without becoming full time?

It’s a non profit that’s very budget conscious, so there‘s no way they’d let me do both if they would have to give me benefits.

Anyone else had this dilemma switching to a new job?

So I just got accepted with another company that I applied for their start date is August 17,2026.

They will send me on boarding procedure probably tomorrow.

So that will be 18 business days.

I really enjoy my time with my current office and has a good relationship with everyone.

My dilemma is do I inform them about my offer and so they can get a replacement or wait till on boarding and background check is done.

If I do the background check then the timeframe will be less than 2 weeks for the notice.

Long story short, I've worked for my father's construction company from 2022- to now as a cost accountant and office manager. This happened, it was real work, I made real money and a real difference in the business. My problem is I was exclusively paid under the table because A) it was my dad and B) I had an unplanned pregnancy and needed medicaid for my kiddo. I never made more than the limit for medicaid despite the income not being reported, but I never filed taxes for that income and the company is small enough that I wasn't listed as an official employee either, although everyone knew i worked there. My kiddo is a year old now, and I'm at the point in my career that I want to work a corporate job for better pay and insurance. I listed my role on my resume, had my initial interview, and have a follow up tomorrow, but it JUST occurred to me that I might not pass a background check for my experience because of the aforementioned details. Its also my only accounting experience outside of school, so I can't exactly leave it off my resume. If HR or a company calls, I know that whoever answers will verify my employment, but there is literally no paper trail to back me up outside of my work email.

Any advice? Should I let this dream job go now? Or should I try to explain at my follow up interview tomorrow (leaving out the part where my father is the co-owner?) Help 🥲

I've received a conditional job offer as an IT support desk analyst for a law firm, which is great, but with it being a law firm, they do very strict background checks.

I worked for my father's company in a full time official capacity between 2011-2019, but continued working on an infrequent ad hoc basis alongside other full time jobs and full time education between 2019-2024, so on my application/CV I have just put my dates as 2011-2024. There'll be no formal records of my work for them between 2019-2024.

Also some of my dates are approximated, I held a role between about 2009-2011 then started working for my father's company in about 2011.

Does anyone know if thos is this likely to cause me an issue and lead to my job offer being withdrawn? They use a third party company to do the work history and DBS checks

My mom works as a cook, and I've noticed that whenever she looks for a new job, it usually happens through agents, other cooks, apartment security, WhatsApp groups, or word of mouth.

One thing I've noticed is that there isn't really a single place where workers can see all the available jobs nearby or learn much about an employer's history before accepting a job.

I'm curious—have others here seen a similar experience? Whether you're an employer or know someone who works as a cook or maid, how does hiring or job searching usually happen in your area? What are the biggest frustrations?
