How To Keep Your Job Search Confidential

How To Keep Your Job Search Confidential How To Keep Your Job Search Confidential Being employed does make you more appealing to employers. But it has a different set of challenges. Sneaking out of the office for interviews can be tricky. Other things, like being dressed appropriately, just take a little planning. If you work a casual office wearing an “interview outfit” will likely be a red flag. Just as when someone comes into a casual environment for a job interview they stand out like a bikini at a funeral. When you suddenly show up to work in dress slacks and a jacket instead of a t-shirt and jeans people will notice. One of the keys to keeping your job search confidential is to begin upgrading your wardrobe BEFORE you start looking for a new job. * Substitute a nice pair of slacks for jeans one or two days a week. * Start wearing a jacket now and then. Leave it over the back of your chair. * Insert some collared shirts or blouses into your weekly rotation. * Try a casual skirt instead of slacks a few times a month. * Forgo your favorite sneakers for something more substantial occasionally. Gradually taking your wardrobe up a notch or two well before you start looking will help avoid suspicion when you do begin interviewing for a new job.
