[quote=Anonymous][quote=jindc]good thing that applying for jobs doesn't involve wearing a fancy outfit. Just a computer.  
for most women with family obligations, there's never a good time for trying to change jobs - something always comes up.  That's how I see it. I definitely could be wrong, but it's also a "now or never" type of thing, especially when trying to get out of the government.[/quote]

I'm with the previous poster. Have you already been on mat leave with your first? I was just in no shape whatsoever to pursue a serious job search - I applied for a job a few months out and realized later that my materials were studded with typos - and that wasn't even in the very first muddled post-baby weeks. Maybe there's "never a good time" but I would warn posters who don't yet have a kid that this might be a worse than average one.

If you've done it successfully, more power to you, but it's hard enough having a new baby. Don't expect to also pull off an intense job search and clean out all the closets.
