Looking for a new job when you already have a job, though common, is a risky proposition. It’s not a comfortable place to be in, especially if your current employer gets a whiff of your intentions. So how can you continue looking for a job without emitting any job-search scent?
1. Don’t look for external opportunities on your employer’s time.
When at work -- do your job. You don’t want to be caught in an awkward position when your colleague or manager sneaks up on you, only to catch you looking for opportunities elsewhere. This sends across a clear message that you are disengaged in your current role.
2. Don’t use company equipment.
For all job search related communication, use your personal email ID and personal equipment. Granted, your IT team has far more important work to do than to track individual employee activity, but the fact is that it is possible to do so when you use the company's email, software programs, or computers. Stick to your own laptop and handheld device.
3. Enhance privacy settings on your activities on LinkedIn profile.
