Has anyone interviewed while pregnant during the pandemic? Pre-COVID they would clearly see my belly, but now we’re just on Zoom and it’s up to me to decide when to share. Any advice?

I wouldn’t say anything until you have an offer. Then I’d negotiate hard for maternity leave benefits without a service minimum (usually a year).

While I know pregnancy can’t legally effect employment, frankly, I don’t trust that. So, this is a great time for it to be a “non-issue.” You’ll quickly find out how parent-friendly they are during negotiations.

I was in that situation before pre-covid. I did not disclose it. I was still able to hide my belly at the time, even though it was in person. You DO NOT need to share it and, personally, I wouldn’t. They AREN’T allowed to pass you up for a job bc of pregnancy, as I’m sure you know, but they can also find other reasons to tell you you’re not qualified if you don’t get the job. They would be treading in risky waters if they did that, but I’ve seen it happen. If I may ask, how far along are you?

Get the offer, disclose to HR as part of negotiations for maternity leave.
