T.A.P. Q#377 - I Respect My Boss, Do I Tell Him I'm Searching for a New Job?
0Dear Experts,
I am going to be interviewing for a job next week, but obviously the job's not in the bag yet. But I was wondering how soon I should let my current boss know, or even IF I should tell him I'm interviewing for a new job. I know the customary 2 weeks notice happens after you've got the the job, but should I let him know that he might have to start looking for someone new?
In this economy - and as I'm a journalism major working part time at my hometown newspaper - he knows the job he gave me is pretty temporary while I look for something more permanent, but it has been an invaluable job and I don't want to disrespect him by telling him I'm leaving in two weeks.
