Parent Full thread

It was harder to interview while employed than while on paternity leave?

I would like to assume having a kid wasn't just a ploy to get paternity leave..

No, it's definitely a ploy to get some time to interview around.

Do many companies ask for birth certificates?

It's a brilliant strategy with some long term side effects.

One possibility could be that their partner picked up some of the parent work so they could interview.
