How do you schedule a job interview at a company 45 min. away while working full time. (no more doc. excuses)?
-
I have already used all my "leaving early for a doc. appt." excuses. My office consists of less than 10 people and it is impossible to sneak in or out without it being a big deal. I don't want to sacrife my current job and my work ethic while looking for another.

Answer:
you could lie and say you have a meeting with a guys that sells blah blah and whatever. or you could schedule yourself a meeting with someone, go there, take 15 minutes, then go to the interview and go back to work. or, schedule the interview early in the morning before you get in to your actual job. good luck!

You are already sacrificing your work ethic by looking for another job during work hours when you should be doing the one you are being paid for....

***Caution*** carrying out this suggestion may cause you to get struck by lightning, (or end up going to H#LL) but this solution worked very well for someone I know... You have already exposed that you are willing to bend the truth a bit... Tell them you are attending a funeral of someone close to you. A family member works best--- Here's why this is a good answer: *You get bereavement pay, and can probably take another 2 days off to inteview!! *If you come back to work, nobody will wonder why you are dressed nicely. *You might get flowers. *You have an excuse to slack off, once you get back to work. *Everyone feels too guilty to request a death certificate This answer is truly only half-serious. While I know someone that was successful in pulling this farce off, Karma is going to have it's day... Good Luck.

Call the interviewer and try to schedule for when you have a day off. If that's impossible then take the prospect to dinner after work (your treat, of course). Not only would you interview in a more relaxed atmosphere but the inerviewer will be blown away by your determination. You would come off as a go-getter. A mover and a shaker.

You could say you are meeting an old friend for lunch, or if you have kids mabye say you have to be at a school function.

Take a vacation day if you have any. You might also talk to the interviewer and see if they'll schedule an evening appointment - they might.

you should be honest with the new company and arrange an interview after your working hours...I'm sure they will appreciate your honesty...

Take a sick day, if you can.

Ask the new job if they will consider an evening interview. One company that I worked for had 4 separate interviews for me. The first two I did during work (I left early). After that, I couldn't think of any good excuses, so I asked them to schedule the interviews after work. It worked out well, and I got the job.

CAn you ask for a day off in advance for like a week or two later. Say you have a family member coming into town.
