Can I take time off for a job interview at another company?
Yes, if you're looking for a new job, you can request time off for interviews. Use vacation or personal days, and be discreet about your search.
Searching for a new job while employed can be tricky, but many companies understand that employees may need to take time off for interviews. The best approach is to use vacation or personal days to attend job interviews, which ensures you're not misleading your current employer about your time off. It’s also important to be discreet about your job search and avoid discussing it with coworkers. Many people schedule interviews early in the morning, during lunch breaks, or late in the day to minimize disruptions to their work schedule. Keeping communication professional and transparent with your employer, without revealing too much about your search, helps maintain a positive working relationship as you transition to new opportunities.
