I have an interview tomorrow but have not notified by current boss about it. What do I do?
You should be honest with your current boss and supervisor. If they are reasonable people, they will understand that you want to leave. You may be surprised to find that they may even give you a positive review to Subway.This will also give them a chance to make you an offer in order to keep you. If they typically have a hard time finding candidates, they may offer you a raise or an adjustment to your hours, etc. to get you to stay. You just need to be honest about why you're leaving your current job, so they have the option to address your issue. If you don't like housekeeping work, tell them. They may have another position that you could fill.Additionally, by telling Subway that you are looking for a new job without notifying your current boss, you are signaling that you are willing to accept a new position and quit your other job on short notice. If, down the road, you decide to leave Subway, what's to say you wouldn't treat them the same as your housekeeping job and quit on short notice, leaving Subway short-staffed.
When an interviewer asks why are you looking to leave your job what would be the best reason to give?
Here are several: Your job description changed. You want advancement. You wanted to learn a new career. Your organization is down sizing. ------------------------------- Never bad mouth your past employer - even if they are worst scum of the earth. Don't say it was because of office politics. If you do those two above things they will not be able to get you out the door quick enough. You will look like the one who can't get along with anyone.
Should i tell my boss i'm interviewing for another job? or wait until after i get a job offer?
i've been at this job four almost four years and treated well. i like my boss so i feel like i "owe" it to him to let him know i've put my resume out and am interviewing for other jobs. do i really need to tell him? or should i just do the interviews without telling him and then if the interviews go well and i get a job offer and it's better than what i have now and i want to accept the offier i just drop the two weeks notice on him?
Boss found out I'm interviewing...?
I really need some advice.... I work for a small company and I have been looking for another job as I have no room for advancement in my current position. Well, one of the companies I applied with must have called my place of employment to verify my work there. Our HR director then told my boss about this call and he came up to me and confronted me on it. I was honest and said that I did have an interview but was not offered the position. He said he appreciated my honesty. But now I don't know what to do- do I sit down and voice my concerns with my present job and "explain" why I'm looking (i.e. "damage control") or do I just let it go and not mention anything else about it??? Advice PLEASE!!!!!!
Is it professional to email a hiring manager when posting for a new position internally?
I work at a large company in the gaming field. I have long wanted to make a move into a new position. My current manager knows my desire but says he can't really help unless I get called for an interview. My question is, upon viewing the job posting there is a name of the recruiter. Is it professional and helpful to email this person on my internal computer to ask what the manager and himself are looking for? Any thoughts?
Do new potential employers have the right to call your present employer for reference?
As a manager, it's been a long time since I've been surprised by an employee leaving. Each and every person on my team knows that I care about their career and long term prospects, so I generally get notice when they expect a potential employer to be calling. Each and every one of my employees gets an honest, and generally glowing reference from me. Because of this, I'm rather accustomed to getting called by prospective employers. On the flip side of things, when I am hiring, I always ask for express permission to contact a current employer. If that express permission isn't given, I don't make the call. Honestly, even when it is given, it's pretty rare that I make the call (usually those references come in when I'm trying to decide between two candidates where I'd rather hire both but can only hire one.) Calling a current employer is a can of worms, there's not much I will ask because it opens up cans of worms. I have to be pretty close to deciding to hire someone before I'll call a current employer as a reference... To the meat of the question: Do they have the right? That will vary from state to state and country to country, but generally, if you give them the contact information to do so, they at the very least have the ability. Most applications have a box you can check for "please don't contact my current employer" and companies tend to respect that. If there isn't a box to check for contact preferences, and you're worried about it, you can comment in an interview that you would prefer that your present employer not be contacted because they are unaware of your search and most people will respect that.
