• Do you go back home and start applying?
  • Isn’t it tiring? You work 2 full time jobs.
  • Do you keep it a secret from your coworkers or do you ask them for advice? Some industries are so small you need to talk to people within the industry. You may simply want to change departments within the same big company: management is going to notice if you start comparing job conditions and payment, they can sabotage you, even if you change within the same company.
  • If you want to keep it a secret, what excuses do you tell the gossips?

    Im discussing this from the perspective of office which I imagine is very different from some other jobs. I consider this saying of thinking as one of neutrality rather then attempting to actively get somewhere.

    1. If there’s a specific job your looking for, that would be correct. Otherwise just interacting with people in LinkedIn works. I check maybe once a month to tell people how interested I am and to direct them to my email where I’m more active.
    2. Not really. The benefit of having a job and looking is having way more freedom to decline interviews. So you don’t put in effort until you want to and it makes more sense. It feels like you are treated better as well. You are given every convenience when you have to fit things around work. Since getting a job, I have had every time limit for sending in work revoked to get it in around work.
    3. Never tell your coworkers. It’s not worth it. I’ve never heard anyone ever discuss taking interviews other than from past jobs. Closest I’ve got is “you’ll be the first to know if I take a new job”. You can take time off for interviews if needed. Or schedule them around lunch. As I said above. They give every luxury to work around a work schedule.
    4. You don’t have to tell anyone. If people ask it can be extremely simple. Dentist, helping someone with a move. Mental health day. Just normal stuff. Realistically, people should not ask.
