Job Searching While You’re EmployedJob Searching While You’re EmployedDon’t jeopardize your current job!Don’t jeopardize your current job!
Presented by: www.thebeehive.org
It is always better to look for a job when you’re already working.
First, because you have the stability of a steady paycheck.
Second, because people who are employed are more desirable
than people who aren’t.
But remember,
• You don’t want your boss to know you’re thinking about leaving.
• You don’t want to loose your job before you have another one.
Here are tips for looking for a new job while you are currently
employed.
The Basics…
Presented by: www.thebeehive.org
1. Don’t Discuss Your Job With Your Co-Workers
If you want your job search to
remain a secret, don't talk
about it. You can't expect other
people to keep your secret if
you can't keep it yourself.

2. Don't Use Your Work Telephone or Email
Employers sometimes monitor
phone calls and email. Use a
personal email account at
home and use your cell phone
for job searching.

3. Don't Job Hunt on Your Boss's Time
Your boss is paying you to
work for him. Use your own
time, like your break or
lunch hour, to do anything
related to your job search.Presented by:

4. Don't Job Hunt on Your Boss's Dime
Use your own paper and your
own printer to make copies of
your resume. Use your own
postage to mail them. Your
current boss should not be
financing your job search.Presented by:

5. Make Job Search Calls Away from the Office
Don't make job search related
calls in an area where
someone may overhear you.

6. Schedule Interviews Before or After Work, or at Lunchtime
If you leave the office during
the day, your boss may know
something is up. If an employer
can't interview you during
those times, take a personal
day. Presented by:

7. Be Careful About How You Dress
If you normally dress casual for work
and then suddenly come into the
office dressed up for a job interview,
your boss may be suspicious. You
may have to find someplace to do a
quick clothing change.

8. Use Former Employers as References
Explaining to an employer that you
can't use your current employer as
a job reference because you want
to keep your job search confidential
for now should not harm your
chances of getting a job offer.
