• As long as you aren't concerned with coming back to work after the baby is born, go ahead and hide it. There will come a day when they will notice and probably be pissed about you hiding it to begin with, but they cannot fire you for being pregnant once you are an employee.


• i dont know how you're going to hide a baby bump at 7 mos. but i dont know anyone who would hire a pregnat women cuz if they hire you, you're only working 2 months then out for 6-8 weeks then they gotta deal with child care issues. but if you could hide it then good luck. oh yeah and be careful cuz lets see if you do get hired, then they find out you lied/hid your pregnancy then they can terminate you. a lot of times in the contract and interviewing process, there is a clause that says if you are knowingly hiding something than that can be grounds for termination which would be perfectly legal. then you would have to prove you didnt know you were 7 mos preggers, which would probably be pretty hard to do.

Sales Job Interviews - The Most Important Preparation Question

• Women should make their own choices about interview attire, but just as with any of the "rules" for dressing for success, they should make those choices fully informed about the risks and realities. Thus, we present the pros and cons of wearing pantsuits to an interview:
  
  Pros:
  If the pantsuit is widely acceptable attire in the workplace, it should be acceptable for job interviews.
  The idea that a pantsuit is unprofessional is outdated. It emanates from a male power structure that seeks to keep women in their place.
  Many employers (some surveys indicate the vast majority, in fact) say it doesn't matter as long as the pantsuit looks professional.
  Many recruiters themselves wear pantsuits.
  If you are not comfortable or confident wearing a skirted suit, you might not interview well. You should be true to yourself, and your clothing should reflect your self-image and help you project your most confident self. Some women feel they look better in pantsuits than in skirted suits.
  Pantsuits may be more acceptable in colder climates.
  Some professionals view pantsuits as actually more professional than skirtsuits because they make women seem powerful and more equal with men.
  
  Cons:
  It's better to be overdressed than under. Whereas you might go wrong wearing a pantsuit, it's almost impossible to go wrong wearing a skirted suit.
  It's not the pants that determine professionalism as much as it is whether the candidate wears a jacket (true of both men and women).
  Many experts say a pantsuit is OK for a second or third interview, but the skirted suit is still the best bet for the first interview. When Andersen Consulting recruits on college campuses, for example, the firm recommends skirted suits for the first two rounds of interviews, with pantsuits acceptable for the third round.
  Employers want to hire candidates who are a good "fit" with the organization; if you interview in a pantsuit in a company where all the female employees are wearing skirtsuits, you won't be perceived as fitting in.

5 Helpful Rules to Successful Job Interviewing

Recommended Answer:
Just be focused and listen to the question carefully and take some time to think about your answer. Some common interview questions are "why should we hire you" and "tell me about yourself"... answer professionally, don't just babble everything about your life. When they ask you to tell them a little about yourself, Say your name then what school you go to, what major your in and be all excited and happy. Show the company that you are energenic and excited even though they may pull a straight face with you. But they're only doing this so they could understand and listen to what you say.
When they ask why they should Hire you, think about it first then answer. Perhaps say that you're motivated and always focused on what you do, or even make it up and say that "I believe you have great customer service and it's something I would love to be a part of"

Careers After 50: Tips For Winning Job Interviews!

• Do your research on the company, have your gaps in employment covered or be ready to articulate your education and other experiences which qualify yo for the job. Always be diplomatic about your prior employer, if you have one. Ask questions to show you are interested in the company/agency and what your duties might be. Don't ask about fringe benefits unless the interviewer(s) bring it up. Be poised and dress appropriately.


• Vivi is right on this one.One of the biggest mistakes i see in interviews,is where the applicant "runs down" or complains,of former employers.No matter what you thought of them,or how things went,always be positive of your past.Don't be afraid to ask them questions,as they do you.Ask things like,"What do you like about working here","What are your goals,with the company","How long have you been here and how long did it take you,to get where you are today".Don't try to upstage the interviewer,but show that you are passionate to stick around and do anything it takes,to secure your future and the companies.Show that you are an asset,rather than a burden.


• Practice what your responses will be, with either your friend or by recording your responses and playing them.
  
  Listen to the questions and wait until the interviewer is through before answering.
  
  Try to be as relevant as possible when answering questions. This means that you try to relate what you know with what the company is looking for.
  
  Use proper English when answering questions and avoid slang or street language since this is generally considered unprofessional.
  
  Try to be as cooperative and enthusiastic as possible as this will make the interviewer feel you are an easy person to talk to.
  
  Ask questions about the position and the organization.
  
  Avoid asking questions that can be found on the company's website.
  
  Avoid asking questions about salary and job benefits.
