What are the chances of being hired at 6 months pregnant?

Question

What do you think the chances are that a 6 month pregnant woman can get hired at any industry, assuming that the employer is looking at nothing except for the pregnancy status?

I encourage everyone to be as realistic as possible. Let's assume the woman can fit the job description.

Answer

They aren't aloud to base it on that but 9 out of 10 times they will and you won't be hired. I've tried for months to get a part time position until June and no one is interested due to me being pregnant. They will find another reason other than your pregnancy not to hire you.

Answer

The pregnancy discrimination supposedly protects us but discrimination happens all the time. Good luck to you. Just go in and ace those interviews. It's their loss if they can't look beyond the bump.

Answer

Don't tell them? When you're being interviewed, wear looser fitting clothes. I sat my purse on my lap and hid the belly and got hired.

Answer

Well they can't discriminate against you being pregnant. I just would tell them.

Answer

I got a wonderful job running all aspects of the back office (AR, AP, HR, payroll, inventory, the works) for a company while pregnant. 
As long as you are qualified and show initiative they should have no problem hiring you. 
From what I know it is against the law to refuse employment on that alone. 
Don't quote me though. But I don't think it's anything to worry about :)

Answer

I was hired into a permanent position at 6 months pregnant. they're holding the position for me to start after my maternity leave! If you're right for the job they'll make it work around your pregnancy.

Answer

I got a job while 7 months pregnant. I was straightforward with them and sold myself. I told them "I know that I'm more than qualified and that I can bring so much to your company if you give me a chance to show you. Yes, I'm pregnant. Yes, I'll take some time off but you have time to prepare and I'm willing to help in any way possible" she told me that ideally they wouldn't want to hire someone so far along but that she admired my honesty, determination and confidence.
