I'm going to be a father again in about six months. Do I need to mention this during job interviews? How would it look if I take paternity leave soon after getting hired, if I don't mention it beforehand?

First off, congrats! I don’t think you have to share upfront—people change roles all the time with life shifts. That said, a company’s reaction can be really telling about culture. If you do mention it, it might be a litmus test worth running.

Thank you! I'm not sure I will tell, I think it would influence the hiring choice anyway.

You don’t need to mention it during interviews. Taking paternity leave is a normal benefit, and most employers expect life events happen. Focus on your skills and fit, and plan your leave with your manager after joining.

I have a friend who was let go a few months into his first job after college (reason: the manager felt like he wasn't grasping the training content to the level that was expected). He's worried about if he should put the experience on his resume anyway, if he does will recruiters ask why he had such a short time at this place, and what will recruiters think if he explains he was let go. What are some things recruiters expect from candidates in this situation to continue considering them?
