Looking for work, wife up the duff; should I tell agents?
G'Day, Curious to hear others' opinions re: how honest to be up front with agents and potential employers. In brief, I'm a UK contractor, finished last contract in November and started (mid-December) to look for work again. My wife's also pregnant with our 1st and due (touch wood) early...
