Searching For a Job Online Without Getting Caught

This can be done at home or during breaks at your workplace.
It's a well-known fact that hiring managers generally prefer to speak with candidates who are actively employed.


Avoid discussing your online job search with co-workers.
The idea that you are dissatisfied with your current job and that you are seeking alternate employment is something that you can keep to yourself.
The worst case scenario would be if your manager heard about your departure before you actually find a job and break the news to him in person.


If you work for a company that does a lot of recruiting, your current manager may run across your resume when doing a search for new candidates.
Try using a resume that lists your current employer as "confidential high tech company" and gives a location rather than listing the company name outright.


Avoid using the company fax machine and email to send out resumes.
It's fine to search for a job online while you are on breaks, but it's completely taking advantage to use the company fax machine and your work email to send out resumes and applications to potential employers.
Create resumes and cover letters and store to a folder in your personal email folders.


By being a smart job seeker, you can successfully and ethically search for a new job while you are still at your old one.
You can successfully find a new job and be ready to put your professional resignation notice in when the time is right.
