The Secret Job Search

If you’ve ever balanced looking for a new job while holding onto your old one, you know how secretive the process has to be. The last thing you want is for the boss to find out that you’ve been seeking greener pastures. People have been fired for less.

But it isn’t easy keeping something as big as a job search on the QT, especially when the people you need to contact are often only available 9-to-5. So what’s a job seeker to do?

This article provides some practical tips about keeping your job search on the down low, like segregating work and personal email and giving potential employers your cell number instead of your work line. This advice may seem like common sense, but in this age of decreased privacy at work, it’s important to keep in mind.
