Tips for Job Searching While Employed

Wednesday June 11, 2008
A few of my colleagues were having a conversation about Internet use. Many people, they noticed, use the Internet much more during the week than on the weekends. That would mean a lot of them are surfing the Web at work. One of my colleagues pointed out that many people even visited job sites from their office computers. Now there's a bad idea. You never know who's looking over your shoulder or tracking your online activity. Do you really want your boss to know you're looking for a new job?

It is best to keep your job search a secret as long as you can. After all, you don't want your boss to replace you before you're ready to leave. In addition to not searching job sites while at work, you shouldn't use your work email account for job search related activities. Here are more tips for job searching while employed.
