For the past 1 year, i've been attending lots of interviews.. yeah, for the new job, and for a better position.. What made me to write this entry is, after reading here i've experienced similiar situation that my friend had.
One of it is during my early pregnancy days. The interview went very well, and the interviewer, Mr C already gave me tips and what to do/read for the 2nd interview. Well, I was very excited, ye la.. tempat kerja dekat ngan rumah, not even 10 minutes.. Then he asked me whether do I have any questions, then the silly me ask, "Do you recruit pregnant woman?" . Mr C's face expression changed.
Mr C: Are you pregnant?
Me : Yes
Mr C: owh...no no problem, we do, we will give them office work rather than travelling. We dont encourage them to travel during their pregnancy.
Me: ok, nice to hear.. (releived)
Few days passed, when I try to follow up, the respond was that, they already found another candidate to the position. Kelakar kan.. If I tak mention I'm pregnant, the sooner or later they'll know kan..
After delivery, i've attended interviews, and where most of the questions will be based on my commitment and my family, willingness to leave my son for the long hours, what your son will do if you come back late.. Hmm... not worth it la kan tanya soalan2 camni.
Well I suppose its not easy for working mom to look for a new job out there. Tapi ini takkan melunturkan semangat saya to look for something better for the future. :)
