My friend is 3 months pregnant and going through a emotionally difficult time. She feels a part time job will give her some purpose in life and help her get over her depression. She has never worked before and plans to leave before she has the baby. Do you think an employer will give her a job knowing of her pregnancy? She is not looking for benefits, paid maternity leave etc. just a way to keep busy. Also, she plans to be forthright about the pregnancy at the interview. The job is in accounting.

They probably wouldn't be too quick to give someone a job that will only be there for maybe 5 months.

Instead of, taking a job away from someone that may actually stay in the position for a while and isn't just looking for a "hobby or something to do", why doesn't she find a place to volunteer? Volunteering does not require an interview in most cases, and she can make her own schedule. Perhaps, after the baby is born she may decide to continue with it.

Hmmm, a lot of companies are very weary about hiring pregnant women, they know they need a significant amount of time off when the baby is born. Maybe she should consider a temp agency, where both the employer and the employee have an understanding that she is only needed temporarily
