If you are currently employed, keeping your job search discrete can be challenging. Even so, it’s absolutely critical that you maintain a level of discretion so that you do not jeopardize your current work status.

It’s best to keep your job search under wraps at your current job so that you are no put into a compromising situation. To help you, we’ve prepared a short list of things you can do to help keep your job search discrete.

Use A Personal Email Address. Using your current employer’s email address in your job search is considered taboo. Besides, many companies today have Internet programs that track your email/online communications and habits while at work. It also may send the message that you are using company time for personal use. That’s not a stellar impression for some employers. Your best bet is to open or use an existing personal account for these types of communication.

Don’t Wear A Suit To Work In A Casual Office. If your office environment is business casual, wearing a suit to work is usually a dead giveaway that you are dressed for an interview that day. Perhaps you can change clothes on the way to the interview by adding a tie or a jacket to your wardrobe to keep things simple.

Time Your Interview Carefully. You may want to avoid scheduling interviews during the middle of the workday unless you know for certain that it won’t interfere with your current job should it run a little longer than anticipated. We suggest mornings or early evenings if a lunch interview is too risky.

Keep Up The Good Job At Work. Most of all, do not slack off at work while conducting a job search. Continue to commit yourself to do the best job possible even if you are happy in your current role. Do your best, be your best. That way, if you do get a new job, your work ethic could result in a great reference from your previous employer.
