During an interview, you want your smarts to glow, not your pregnancy. Research the company’s history, and then you’ll be prepared to speak about its management team, product, philosophy and culture.
Be a pro. Even if your interviewer is friendly, save the scoop on your new nursery for after you’re hired. Instead, keep the interview focused on you, your skill set and what you can bring to the position.
