If there's actually a contest to ascertain the expert in celebrity gossip, I am certain I'd win. Whether the topic is Paris Hilton’s new bikini or how Jessica Simpson wore her hair to the People’s Choice awards, I am confident I have the most up-to-date knowledge. So yesterday when Angelina Jolie announced her pregnancy, I was proud to have predicted it two months ago when she first emerged wearing a loose fitting tank. Why did she hide that pregnancy for so long, and when it is ok to hide it? Do you hide your pregnancy in a job interview? I have interviewed many pregnant candidates,

I have seen a range of experiences - from the person who announces their pregnancy in the first interview phone call to the person who starts the job and does not let the manager know until a week later when she is in labor. How to handle this disclosure of pregnancy in the job hunt is largely a matter of personal style and there is certainly no rule (other than the fact that you can not be discriminated again for being pregnant,

In general my suggestion is to neither hide nor discuss your pregnancy in an interview - it has nothing to do with your qualifications for the job - but that you should disclose it once an offer has been presented to you. This approach ensures that you do officially have the job offer and that you are also being up front before your start date about any time you will be taking off after the birth. How much time do you take off? Well, that is the good news at Microsoft: If you give birth, you can take up to 8 weeks off,
