NO

Many job seekers don’t realize that the posting may actually be for the company you are currently working.  It also may be for a vendor, or friend of the company management. You can bet they are going to call your boss to find out why you are looking for work.

NOT GOOD

Now everyone knows your are looking for another job.  This is the super highway to the unemployment line.  In some instances, staffing companies run blind ads for companies and they get individuals who apply from the same company…on company time.   You can bet they will alert your boss ASAP.

So take my advice and skip the blind ads and do job research on your own time, not in the office.  It is ok to try to upgrade your position even in a poor economy, but be smart about it!
