Now what???
I have a job interview this coming week which is awesome, but I am a single parent and the job’s hours are NOT flexible at all. I know I shouldn’t have even applied, but it’s a GREAT job and part of me didn’t think they would even be interested in me. Now what do I do?
You go for it and figure things out later! That's what being a mom is, thinking on your toes and being inventive. Don't let the chance of a good job slip away!! You will need it to support your children.
Go 4 it ..n most of all pray about it!!
In my opinion your children come first they had to be taken care of you just need to talk with a to the manager are hiring representative and tell them that you are single parent and can they be more flexible with their hours good luck I hope it all works out for you
Your kids come first and whatever decision that you make maybe they will work with you if you want to talk to them a lot of places will if I know you're a single mom good luck
If there is someone to take care of your child or children while you work then go fori it
Hi Cecile, I would go through the interview process and once it is over make sure to plan childcare if you are able to financially. If you love this job and truly want it then go get it. Most companies understand that working parents may need to leave work a bit early to pick their child up from daycare. If this job doesn't happen for you, you will need to plan for the next anyway. Being honest is always a great plan as well, and while you do not legally need to tell them you are a single parent you will have to make suitable arrangements to work the hours they will request of you. Don't lose hope just yet! I would start planning for how you will get yourself back to work. If you cannot afford the costs of daycare at this time, consider paying a family member to watch your child during the week. I wish you the BEST of luck on your interview. You will figure things out, so don't stress and just focus on landing the job!
I'm sorry but we as grownups must start acting like the adults we are suppose to be. When u know your situation, why would u apply and waste an individuals time when they there r serious potential candidates? Dont waste anymore of their valuable time. Tell them u aren't interested. Please dont do that again cuz this isn't a game for employers nor potential employees! Care.com to work with families
Don’t go if you can’t do the hrs involved it’s wasting their time and yours
