I always said I wanted to get back into some sort of paid work once my PPL was up. I was sorta looking at starting a new job when Josh was about 5 months old (we really do need the money so even then was a stretch). DH is currently looking for a new job and gets the Seek job emails sent to us every morning. I opened it up this afternoon and found that my dream job is on there. It was the job I did (was on a fixed term contract) just before I got married and I so want to apply for the job as I think I have a high chance of getting it. I'm in two minds about it, it doesn't close till the end of april so i'm thinking I might go in there and see them (as they knew I was pregnant) and see who's job it is and get some inside info... ------------- I was a puree feeder, forward facing, cot sleeping, pram pushing kind of Mum... and my kids survived! |

| why are you thinking about not applying for it? You said you have to go back to work and if its your dream job then whats holding you back? Is it full time and you want part time or something? |

Fulltime and I want to work part time and that I didn't want to go back to work till Josh was at least 5 months like I did with Andrew. ------------- I was a puree feeder, forward facing, cot sleeping, pram pushing kind of Mum... and my kids survived! |

| go for it. apply and make the decision whether to take it or not AFTER you've talked to them. They may be able to work something out especially for you. |

My dream job came up when Jacob was 5 months old, and I had been determined not to go back to work till he was 12 months old. Fortunately it was at the same place, so they let me do it on "trial" for a month, and if I didn't like it I could go back on maternity leave, and that wouldn't be affected. Of course, I loved my new job even better, and am glad I took the plunge! Won't hurt to ask.. ------------- The Honest Un PC Parent of 2, usually stuck in the naughty corner! :P |
