How To Schedule Job Interview During The Weekdays When You Are On A Job Already?
Question: How to schedule a job interview during the week when you already have a job during business hours? I am employed but am looking for a new job. The problem is that most employers will only interview during business hours, so how are you supposed to get time off in the middle of the week, in the middle of the day to go to a job interview? And what if you have multiple interviews during the week? What are you supposed to tell your employer and/or future employer about scheduling?
Answer: This is a fairly common situation, but you have to manage it somehow. Don’t tell your employer about your job interviews, otherwise they will remove you asap anyway. Try to find out if they can meet you after work. If it’s not possible, schedule as late as you can and take medical leave.
If you don’t want to tell your current employer that you are looking for a job, try spacing out your interviews. If you have Personal Holidays or Annual Leave you can always take a day off for personal reasons. Remember that if you don’t make the effort, you will never get out of your current job.

How Long to Wait for Job Offer After Job Interview?
Question: How long should I wait for a job offer after taking an interview? The initial feedback from the recruiting agency was that everyone was impressed with my resume and my interview, but I have been waiting for a response for over a week now. What should I do?
Answer: Usually, you should get a response within a week. You should contact the employer to know whether they’ve made a final decision on the candidates they interviewed. Some employers take a while to contact the applicants they want to hire. If they’ve decided to pass on you, at least you’ll have some closure. Also, note that a “thank you” letter after an interview is always appreciated. You should let them know you’re interested.
