An article on Yahoo! today gives tips about how to look for a job “on the sly,” meaning, “when you already have one.” As a veteran of this old bait-and-switch tactic, some of the mistakes are obvious. Don’t print out copies of your resume on the shared third-floor printer. Don’t let job recruiters call your work phone number. And, as we love to say here at Save the Assistants, don’t be a douche.
Among the tips in this article? “Stay focused on your current job.”
“You always want to be held in the highest respect by your superiors, subordinates, and peers,” Martinez says. “The worst thing that can happen to you is you go up to your boss and say ‘I quit,’ and he smiles.”
No, the worst that can happen is, when you quit, your boss telling you you’re just a hormonal, emotional girl who doesn’t understand what she’s getting into.
That said, the rest of the article is here.
