Job hunting while pregnant is tough.
Hello everyone! As the title says, I'm looking for a job while being pregnant. It's tough and I'm desperate! BTW, I'm a female from the Philippines and an administrative officer.
I resigned due to a change in management and unfortunately my last day fell during the exact day the regional conflict started. My company didn't give the correct settlement and due to the uncertainty of the situation at that time, I was forced to accept it. Then came April where I found out I'm pregnant. Maybe because of my pregnancy, employers don't want to take the chance of hiring me due to the impending maternity leave. But I maintained my honesty during interviews, not once have I not mentioned that I am pregnant even though I know it will be a deal breaker for me, I always shown my sincerity.
I'm honestly not after the maternity leave nor even the visa. I just want to be able to survive and have an income to sustain my needs and the upcoming needs of my baby. I'm almost out of money for rent and daily expenses. I can't even update my prenatal check up which puts me in a lot of stress and worries about my baby. I'm scared. On top of that, my visit visa is only until next month.
I've been an administrative officer for a long time and since it's a mid sized company, I am an all-rounder. From administrative, operations, secretarial, imports and logistics, accounting and HR support — I handle all. I'm confident about my abilities. It's just that I'm pregnant right now but, my skills are still the same.
If anyone here knows any job that fits me, or someone willing to hire me... Please.
