The average worker is usually forced to perform tasks that are not part of his duties, overtime and bear more responsibility than expected - and thus his salary remains unchanged.

Because of the fear of losing a job often, we often postpone this necessary for recuperation leave, that only increases stress.

But how to find the time to look for a new job at a ten-working day, the need to take children out of school to take care of the family to do housework, but still find time for a short rest and sleep? Very simple. Finding a new job need to be addressed on an old paper.

Experts recommend that serious about finding a new job and give them all the time, but it is possible if you are in an office surrounded by a dozen colleagues and boss and tries to look over his shoulder to check what you're doing? Neil Lebovits, President Recruitment Ajilon Professional Staffing, in Saddlebrook, New York, has kindly agreed to give some advice to those who want to start a new life, but does not dare to say goodbye to the old place of work.

Be careful with e-mail

E-mail correspondence should be conducted with extreme caution, or else run the risk of parting with the old work even before the new find. Different companies are different policies control the e-mail employees, but work-related correspondence definitely need to open a separate, personal, electronic mailbox, for example, Hotmail. In addition, employers prefer to receive messages from user boxes, crates than competitors - such candidates are viewed with suspicion. It is also important the following point: the potential employer does not have to guess what you are seeking work during working hours - this is unlikely to raise your rates.

Does not appear in a suit for a job interview in an office where such clothing is not accepted

Nothing gives your intentions as coming to work in an elegant suit - against the backdrop of jeans he would throw himself into his eyes. That how to resolve this dilemma? Well, the bottom of the suit (skirt or pants) will not look out of place in any setting, if it is not accompanied by a jacket. Lebovits recommends grab bag for work Bags - a necessary thing in every woman's wardrobe   with ironed and neatly folded jacket and on his way to a job interview to change (for example, in a public toilet).

Men are more difficult - they have to choose a shirt that looks stylish and without a tie, and you will be able to tie a tie just before the interview Ten ways to fill a job interview .

Caution   Gather   recommendations

As you probably already realized, the main thing - be careful .  Former colleagues have already passed through your trials and successfully change their job - that's your first allies in secrecy, so the better the recommendations to address them .  But the real counterparts - not ideal candidates for this .  Think carefully which of your colleagues can be trusted with a secret, and who will keep it safe .  "Often people tend not to ask for recommendations to managers and heads of department, and to the same ordinary employees as they do - said Lebovits .  - Since the recommendation is usually given characteristic of your moral and professional qualities, estimated willingness to work, the ability to cooperate are listed achieve, there is no need to contact colleagues to rise above you on the ladder - refer to someone who is sitting next to know you better all and can be characterized with the best hand " .

Rationally   dispose   time

The ideal time for the interview - lunch or dinner. You can also schedule an interview at eight in the morning - to the beginning of the working day at nine interview has ended. If a meeting with a potential employer delayed for being late for work can find a lot of excuses. "I would not recommend to take special ingenuity, inventing excuses being late for work, - warns Lebovits. - Nobody can abolish "private time", which put us under the law. If you are making excuses of disease or infirmity, Chief may require a medical certificate or an offer to go to the home mode. " However, it is best to appoint an interview at the time that, if necessary, you will be able to transfer (for example, on weekends or holidays) or on a non-working hours.

Never stop working at full strength

Always work at full strength - so your boss will not notice the maneuvers, and you have to prepare yourself for the retreat site. But be prepared for a strong tension. If during working hours you'll be working at full capacity (and outside of searching for a new job), you will continue to receive praise and appreciation of his superiors, that will give you strength. Ultimately, there is always the possibility that you stay. It is not necessary to burn the bridges behind them, causing suspicions of others, or risk being left without a job at all.
