I can not reily on my husband to find work he has been unemployed since November. I am pregnant and looking for work, but I do not know that anyone would hire someone that is seven months along. I have an associates degree and I was only 26hrs from having my BS degree in Biology. I have some computer skills, but I am not sure if it is enough to get me hired and I need something that pays enough to pay the bills and our mortgage payment. I have been a homemaker for three years and need to get back into the work force is there anything I can do to help me get hired at a decent wage in my current situation?

I have Spa parties in my home, others homes, businesses, anywhere you can think of. They are so much fun, you can choose any theme, such as:
Teen Spa, Office Retreat, Martini's/Margarita's & Make-overs, Happy Hour, Bridal Spa, Mens Spa, Grand Opening, Champagne Spa or anything you can imagine.
You create your own schedule, work as little or as much as you want. The company I work with is $250 to join, this month you can join for $99, and you receive over $700 in product and sales aids. If you are serious about building a business for yourself I can help you get started without paying a penny.
Email me for more information. No Scam. Legit Business Opportunity!

While a company can't legally deny you work if you're pregnant (in fact, an interviewer legally can't even ASK if you are pregnant), to be honest, there are very few companies that are going to hire you at 7 months pregnant, spend money and time to train you and then have to find someone else to do your job in just two months. It's too much time and expense for a company to take to have you there two months and have you off two months with the baby. And that's a best-case scene ... if there are complications, you may be off work even longer...and while a company will sometimes offer maternity leave, most aren't going to hire a person and have to pay those benefits after just a couple of months.
You may, however, be able to find some do-at-home work or something that would help pay the bills. It might also not be a bad idea to try a temporary service, such as Kelly Services or Manpower, that can find you temporary work until after you have the baby.
It may be easier, though, for your husband to find a job at this time than it would be for you...even if he has to relocate to do so and have you come along after.
I have no doubt that you are a sincere worker, and you'd probably be pretty good, too, but at seven months...I hate to be the downer here but the chances at the kind of job you sound like you need aren't that great.

Although not legal I would think that employers would discriminate against you because of your pregnancy. However you should be able to apply for any non physical job. While pregnant with my second child I worked until 3 days before he was born without a problem. I would say definately brush up on your Microsoft skills. If you go to Microsoft.com there are tutorials there that you can practice.

Go see your local employment office. There are lots of jobs for expectant mothers, and you seem to have some nice qualifications. Very best of luck. And congratulations.

You should ask for non physical works, like a call centre or something like that.
