How to stay confidential in your job search


Are you currently working in a company and looking for a new job? Whether it's to improve your working conditions, take on new challenges or get out of your boring routine, you may have to look for work while remaining anonymous. Realize that you are not the only person at the job looking across the fence.

To avoid getting caught by your employer, we've provided a summary of advice from an article in the Financial Post, written by Megan Santos.

Do your research after office hours

Taking the risk of doing your job search in the office can be very risky. Many companies use software to monitor the activities of their employees, and you definitely don't want to be surprised by a coworker.

Outside of the office, you'll have the peace of mind you need to research companies, schedule interviews and polish your CV.

If you receive a call from a recruiter or a company at work, and you are unable to answer, let the call go to your voicemail.

Be aware of your social media activities

In order not to draw attention to your job search, it is imperative that you do not post comments or clues on social media that suggest that you are looking to change jobs. Note that the best way to communicate is by email, phone or private message on LinkedIn.

LinkedIn is an important tool for an active job search and it is important to have an up-to-date profile. In order not to listen to your connections, turn off the option for your activity broadcasts.

Stay productive at work

It can be difficult to keep your morale up at work when you are no longer interested in it. Know that showing your disinterest or decreasing your productivity can be indicators that you will soon take the step towards a new challenge. Remember to keep a good attitude and be proactive in your work.

In order to leave your peace of mind and have a professional reference in your pocket, it is good to leave your job on a high note.
