Why did you apply if you were not going to take these offers?

I didn't apply I meant to say they contacted me specifically from companies with job offers

I know a few companies that still extended offers knowing maternity leave would happen first. Be honest and see how they proceed if you would still take the offer post leave.

This does not concern them unless they are your friends. I'd say that you have an important engagement but are interested to talk again in x months. That's how I did it and it worked out pretty well. Took a year off

Okay this sounds great thank you !!

Do you actually have offers, or just requests for a phone screen?

If phone screen, ask to reconnect in 6 months. If offers, consider asking if you can start in 6 months or whatever timeline works with your maternity leave.

Ok thank you for this .. so no need to mention maternity just say reconnect in few months etc .

Be honest but they’re likely going to move on.

Thank you it's more about not burning bridges for future

Just ask them to match your current maternity leave, and take the offer. If you want to jump, why wait?
