I’m in a rather peculiar situation. I have been in the HR field going on 4 years, I have over 11 years of management experience, I got my PHR last year and I recently graduated with my MBA with a concentration in HR this month. I am ready for a more challenging role. However, there doesn’t seem to be much available at my current company. However, I am going on 5 months pregnant with the expectation of being out in October. I feel like once I mentioned my pregnancy I was in a holding pattern.

Maybe have an honest discussion with your manager! If you are ready for more responsibility, make that known! I’m sure a lot of women during pregnancy don’t feel that they want to take on more/new work, but everyone is different. I like asking my boss how I can help and make her job easier to show I’m ready for new challenges

I am considering that I was since I am under a 1 year lock (next May) due to my education reimbursement as well. However, I guess I just feel my career does not have to stop right this moment. I am another 5 months from even going on leave.

Have you tried exploring new opportunities? Take some time to build your network and form connections on LinkedIn. Also, consider having your resume edited by a professional. www.prsnbranding does a great job with resumes. Congratulations on the baby too.

I have considered looking elsewhere but considering the time I will need away for my maternity leave in the near future and having to pay back the tuition reimbursement in the next year I have steered away from it. I will continue to focus on building my network in the meantime and updating my resume as well. Thank you for the insight and the congrats!!!
