Original

I’m writing about maternity and work.
Yesterday I knew that the company where my husband works is going to make me a job interview. There is an available position in one of the brands of the company that is called Bershka. Since I arrived in Shanghai I’ve been looking for a job in fashion, so this interview is a good opportunity for me. However, I know that people who work in my husband’s company used to start at 9 a.m. and finish around 7p.m. so, in the case that they would choose me for this job, my one year old baby would spend the whole day with his ayi. I’m worried about this because we are used to be together almost all day. In case that they want me, I will have to choose between work and take care of my baby by myself. It’s a hard decision but this is live.

Yesterday I found out that the company where my husband works is going to give me a job interview. There is an available position in one of the brands of the company that is called Bershka. Since I arrived in Shanghai I’ve been looking for a job in fashion, so this interview is a good opportunity for me. However, I know that people who work in my husband’s company start at 9 a.m. and finish around 7p.m. so, in the case that they would choose/want/hire me for this job, my one year old baby would spend the whole day with his ayi. I’m worried about this because we are used to being together almost all day. In case that they want me, I will have to choose between my career or taking care of/raising/spending time my baby by myself. It’s a hard decision but this is life.
