So... I return from mat leave in just over a month and decided to look for a new job because I need a change. I have 2 interviews this week (yippee)! One interview is a result of a direct application. I didn't mention being on mat leave on my application but think this is fine? I can now just mention at interview. They are a really flexible employer so I'm happy to be 100% honest.
However, eek, I have another interview through a recruitment consultant. I failed to mention I was on mat leave when I interviewed with the consultant because honestly I was worried and now I realise this was a bit silly. What shall I do at interview? Not mention it?! Don't want the consultant to look silly. Was thinking of just saying I had a baby but not mentioning I was returning from mat leave. More 'being economical with the truth' than lying.
Oops! Have I done something silly? To be honest, it didn't really come up in conversation and I didn't want to make a big deal out if it as hubby will be looking after DS and I don't have childcare issues. What do you all think? Any advice welcomed!
