There is a common misconception that most job seekers are unemployed. However given today's demand for skilled labor, many active job seekers are employed.
If you are currently employed and are seeking a new and more beneficial position, consider the following tips.
- With many job boards, you are able to activate and deactivate your resume. If you find that your resume is posted on a site that your current firm is utilizing, deactivate your resume.
- Never utilize your company email address during your job search. Most companies now have "acceptable use email policies," giving firms the right to scan incoming and outgoing mail. The last thing you want is your manager reading email regarding your job search.
- It is always wise to schedule interviews when you are off the company clock. For an example, communicate early in the morning, during lunch, evenings, and weekends. Of course, utilize your vacation time or personal days to interview, never "call in sick." Potential employers may judge you differently if you "call in sick."
