Pregnant ≠ Pause: How to approach your pregnant job search
Job searching is tough, and job searching while pregnant brings even more challenges — from deciding when to disclose, to managing interviews with a growing belly, and just straight up growing a human while trying to be a human. The pregnant job search can be exhausting and isolating. But, an educated approach and the right support can make it less so.
In this session, Abby Jacobs shares her real-life experiences navigating two job searches while expecting.
Participants will learn how to:
Approach the process with confidence
Handle tricky conversations
Reframe their story as both professionals and expectant parents
Establish REAL support systems for their journey
