    Yikes. Today's the day. I have worked at the same company since graduating college 9 years ago, just updating my resume was a big step! So I'm mostly jittery about the 'interview' in general - my strengths/weaknesses etc - being 'on the ball' for all these questions :) Especially since this company is known for being very 'tough' interviewers. It's a part time position and I have 3 hour long interviews with 2 people each! Hopefully with a potty break between each!

    Then there's that little thing about me being 35 weeks pregnant. I'm good friends many of the employees - so it's not a secret per say. But during the interview process so far I've only done a phone interview and an online test. So it may be a shock to the folks actually interviewing me! I know they can't 'judge' me for it - but me not being about to start until mid Oct might throw a kink in things!

    Please send happy thoughts my way between 1 and 4 ET! Let's hope this preggo chic lands a new job for after baby!

    Good luck!! Just so you know in Managerial training, they tell you to not even look below someone's eye level and you have to pretend you don't notice a baby bump. It's a huge liability if a company doesn't hire you b/c you are pregnant.

    3 hours and 7 people later - I survived!  Thanks for the encouragement.

    Funny the 'HR' person who signed me in asked right away when I was due.  None of the actual interviewers did though.

    I did run into about 5 friends while I was in the office and they were all asking about the baby and what not. A little bit of funny circumstances since I know well quite a few of the employees.

    The best news is it's over. I believe what will be will be and am super proud of myself for going for the job! If they believe I'm a fit for their culture and the position it'll work out.

    Now I'm waiting for a 'call' and a 'baby' :)
