Hellobee Boards

@Becky: @PollyWog: It doesn’t say when the job starts but the posting closes at the beginning of August. That was actually my plan, to get pregnant a few months in then I would be able to do the entire contract. We were thinking of TTC end of Sept. I’m not sure how long it will take to get permanent bc my friend who works there said that have several people on contract right now. I’m worried that if I’m pregnant but still complete my contract, they will forget about me while I’m on mat leave (1year in Canada) and not bother hiring me back.

@skinnycow: @psw27: @desertdreams88: I know there’s no guarantee but I got pregnant on the first try with my first baby. I know that might not happen for #2. I’m thinking of applying anyways then if I get it, decide then. This job would be a step up in terms of finances and it’s supposed to be a pretty good place to work. If I were to get the job, the concern is that it’s a contract position to start. So if I don’t get permanent by the time I go on mat leave (if all goes as planned), then they don’t technically have to hire me back.

@Bluebonnet: Yes I would still have paid maternity leave bc it goes by hours worked. Jobs in my area aren’t easy to find but I’m sure I could find something even if it’s not in my field to get by. This job would definitely boost my skills but I think it’s a job I would want to stay at!

@crazydoglady: @shantuck: I guess you never know how long it will take to conceive! I was just shocked how quick it was the first time was so I just assumed it could happen that fast with #2. We’ll see!! Hopefully if it does happen right away, I can find another job after mat leave if I can’t stay at the potential job I want. I just worry about the worst case scenario then we would be screwed without an income!
