[quote=Anonymous]I just went through this. My SO passed away when our baby was 9 weeks old. This was 3 1/2 months ago. I started interviewing in early January. I don't mention his passing in my interviews. I mention my baby but no one asks about the father. I fee people would be hesistant to hire someone who isgrieving. I just got offered a job and I intend to tell the family but when I feel comfortable. I don't have to share any aspect of my personal life with them but this one is a big deal so I think in time it would be appropriate but certainly not in an interview. I did mention it in one interview and I think it cost me the job. The couple's anniversary was the same day of his passing and when they mentioned that, I immediately got jittery and so I mentioned it.  I would keep it to myself at least in the beginning. Also, in the first two weeks, there is no way I would have been ready but that's just me. I'm forced to go back to work because I have a 6 month old child who has no father; otherwise, I would just hang out with my baby for a little longer. Good luck with your decision. I know what you are going through, believe me, so please take my advice![/quote]
