hey kellie
i recently did up my resume for a federal govt job(which i got ) and i put my reason for leaving my last job was 'to have a baby' didnt even use the term maternity leave. i guess it all comes down to what you feel comfortable with. i wrote that because i am proud of having lachlan and i guess if they aren't happy about that then screw them :P

I have always been completely open about my maternity leave - I took 6 months with my daughter and a full year with my son. It's never affected my job applications - I've never had a problem getting a job whenever I've wanted one.

I'm not interested in working for anyone who views maternity leave as bludging, or as a reason to question my commitment. It makes me question their capacity to value their employees as human beings with lives and priorities outside the workplace. That is a completely outdated notion that belongs in the 80's and if they operate like that I would rather know before I commit to a position with them.

Been there, done that, got the tee shirt. And they can kiss my you-know-what
