Do you imagine this being the kind of thing where you’re biding your time until you save up enough money to be a stay-at-home mom, or are you planning to go hard until you’re 35 and then have a baby and scale back to part-time? Be straight with us: How much time you got left on your clock?†Sources confirmed that after Heard left the room, the recruiters privately joked that the minute they promote her to head of clinical research she’ll probably announce her pregnancy.

sorry, sorry, im just so livid because i've spent 2 fucking years applying for over 1500 jobs to date, even during periods of extremely poor health, with a great cover letter, resume, personal presentation, clear speech, relevant skill sets, all the little extras like transportation, and NOTHING, not one job, and i honestly think it has a lot to do with the fact i present as having a uterus, therfore i might breed any second if not currently inpig, so argh, shit like this just sets me off so bad.
end current rant, i sincerely apologise for any/all missed spelling errors, i corrected what i could pick up on, I've been up all day/night/day, i cant find my glasses and this shit set me off so hard and fast, i'll take my ranting offline for a while to settle down.

@exile: I don't know about where you are, but here in USA, smaller companies will hire a CF woman. Smaller companies here don't really pay maternity benefits - it does not matter if you breed or not - they just replace those who breed because those who breed don't get paid for the time off. Most wanna breeders stay away from smaller companies here.

I have noticed since you joined this board that all of your posts have an unusually high number of spelling, grammatical and capitalization errors.
Unfortunately when you are communicating in a written medium such as this board or resumes, people do judge such frequent errors.
In this board, I frequently pass over your posts due to the high number of errors making it very difficult for me to read your posts.
When I was in a hiring position, all resumes with errors got thrown out immediately.
Perhaps you might be willing to share why you have so many issues with the written language and we could help with suggestions.
My first suggestion would be to always turn on the spelling/ grammar corrections in any word processing and believe the corrections most of the time.

An average person who is serious about finding a job has his stuff checked! Always!
The only people who apply for a job with errors are certain people sent by the job centre
- they don't want to work but they have to apply for XX jobs to continue to receive
the social welfare so they apply in such a horrible manner that nobody would hire them.

@ Techie: What??? That's incredible!
I started a job with a new company when I was 27,
I got an unlimited work contract. The HR manager
gave it to me because it was my 1st proper job
after university and I was single + they needed
me because of my mother tongue.
I quit the job after 3 months due to my BF
and they hired a 35yo woman. She got only a limited
contract for 6 months for the very same position!!
It was clear why...
I can only think about one reason for the conditions you described.
There is a high fluctuation in the industry you work and the
company hopes that people stay holding the same job.
A "mommy" and "daddy" will rather stay than a CF person.

@Techie
Actually I've met quite a few women during the up-skill course i did last year to boost my chances of getting work, in privet on the topic of not wanting kids birth control came up, and when i said i used BC pills, they immediately asked how many guys i was cheating on my partner with? Claiming they wont touch the things because they believe it promoted infidelity and they wouldn't want their partners to think they were cheating.
All i could think of was "the fuck did i just hear?", needless to say i didn't stay in contact with any other females after the course was over, met a lovely gay couple though, get alone swimmingly with them.

@ exile. From what you write about your "application routine", you do everything right - a customized cover letter,
a call few days later, appropriate clothing, on-time.. Everything is as it should be IMO.
I met people with "dummy applications". It's all bullshit. They were people who were unemployed for many, many years. It was clear that they had barely a chance to find a job. They themselves knew it. Yet the job centre forced them to apply again and again only to fulfill some bureaucratic regulation.

I never decline to answer even though i dont have to answer personal questions like that, and thats why it burns me up so much that this company in new York is putting more importance into wether or not the female applicant is going to breed or not, over whats actually important, her skills, personality and experience. Even if they ask her and she gives an honest answer, its unlikely they will trust and employ her.

Can you think in the abstract?
This could be an interview question, perhaps -

@ exile:
The outfits are good and appropriate.
Do you have to PAY for the registration at the temp agency?
Here it's for free!
Honestly, I don't believe in volunteering in general. I believe that every work
has value and therefore it HAS TO BE PAID unless the person really wants
and doesn't mind to work for 0 $.
