The Pregnancy Discrimination Act of 1978 was put in place to protect expectant mothers from being cast aside, but that doesn’t mean finding a new job while pregnant is easy.
"I would wait until after the initial conversation to provide information about any type of potential leave after starting," she said. "Ensure that this is a role that you want to pursue before providing this information."Ebata told FOX Business that job candidates should display a "relevant experience" section on their resumes to outline professional skills, which "will give recruiters less reason to pause" if time was taken off from work.
"Candidates are often surprised to hear that they are under no legal obligation to disclose their pregnancy to a prospective employer — though it’s difficult to imagine how this is helpful for all involved," Ebata continued. "For example, experiencing a layoff or furlough can build resilience; caring for a loved one shows you can prioritize others over yourself, [which is] especially important in managerial roles; and taking time off due to burnout can demonstrate self-awareness," Sinclair said. How to know if a prospective employer is the right fit
"It’s important to consider the maternity leave policies of the companies that you’re interviewing for and the family benefits more generally," Ebata told FOX Business. "This could be a very overwhelming time for you and your family, so it is important that you are employed by a company or organization that makes you feel comfortable."
"Not every company will be a fit for you — and that’s OK. If an employer appears to cater to every candidate’s needs, it’s a facade," Sinclair said. "As a candidate, you need to find the employer whose values and priorities align with yours, whether it’s flexibility, compensation, benefits, the opportunity to learn and progress, or stability and job security."
Pregnant job candidates shouldn't be hard on themselves if their search for a new role takes a while.
