How do you look for jobs while already being employed?

Seems like a stealthy game of hide and seek.

How?


Also, I'm a poor collegefag working a wagecuck job as a cook
I would love nothing more right now than to get some kind of boring office job that everyone talks and whinges about, but where do I get one of those? What does such a job entail?

Look into data entry jobs

Many employers prefer to hire people when they are currently employed. Many employers will not fire a person for searching for a different job.

They say they do their "best" to keep you search status hidden from current employer but almost everyone I know has been fucked by this setting. Message linkedin with a complaint. They need to improve their efforts. I'm not convinced that they don't sell this info right to the company as an enterprise service anyway. Such a shit fucking platform, honestly. Only made to make HR womyn seem more competent.

Hey boss, can I have a few hours off on <day of interview> for <make up excuse that's unrelated to the job search here>.

[Anonymous No.11422243]

>>11422185
this. or, look them in the eye and say you're going to an interview, and laugh, like I did.

Got a 70% bump in pay out of it.

My problem is that I might get a promotion very shortly before leaving.

>Apply for promotion (literally just a job ad for what I already do but two pay grades higher) two months ago
>Meanwhile, applied for a job at another company
>The day after I apply for the other job, a middle management guy comes over and says he's "Happy to progress the promotion application" and acts like I'm almost certain to get it
What do? Is it rude if I get a promotion and then jump ship 1-2 months later?

Be straight up with your current company. Tell them you have another offer, but you'd stay if they offer you the promotion. Tell them you need a decision quickly since the other company has a time limit on their offer.

Well sure, but you can't not take a promotion just cause you "might" get a job somewhere else. If it happens, just say that someone at the other company reached out to you. You may get a pay raise at your current company if you're willing to stay.

wait a sec
you guys actually have a job?

[Anonymous No.11422321]

This is also not a bad route.

Depends on the relationship. May be just better to suggest that you have another offer. If they want to keep you, they'll have to beat the offer.

You don't need to let them know of that option, because if they want to keep you they will try.

To make it worse, try looking for non-local jobs while still employed

But I don't have another offer yet, I haven't even gotten a call back about the other job yet. All I can do is work with the available information, but what if I get the promotion and then get offered a job by the other company?

[Anonymous No.11422515]

>>11422350
Are you a fucking woman?
Get the promotion, then if the job offer is better than what you currently do, pays more or you just like it more jump ship.

How? For what reason? And what shit company was it? Hopefully my company trys such move on me. Easy law suit case.
