Manage Your Time Well: Use your free time for your job search. This helps keep your work and job search separate.

Keep It Quiet: It’s usually a good idea to keep your job search private. You don’t want your current boss or co-workers to find out by accident.

Schedule Interviews Carefully: If you have a job interview, try to schedule it during your lunch break or before or after work. If that’s not possible, use a personal or vacation day.

Stay Focused: Even though you are looking for a new job, don’t forget to do well in your current job. Staying professional is very important.

Use Your Network Wisely: If you talk to people in your network about your job search, make sure they know to keep it confidential.

Remember, it’s possible to find a great new job while still doing well in your current one.
