Applying for jobs when you are employed
Two main questions:
1. When/if they ask if they can contact your current employer, but your current employer doesn't know you are applying/searching/interviewing, does it look bad to say no?
2. How do you handle the interviews when you have a job? When I moved to Boston I had three interviews in one week- if I get that amount of interviews this time around (here's hoping, kind of), there is no way I can take the time to go to all of them. I only have 2 more days left to take until July (we don't get vacation until we've been there a year). Can you ask the interviewer to handle the interview early AM or late afternoon or is it bad to ask them to fit your schedule?
TIA

Re: Applying for jobs when you are employed
1. I usually say don't contact unless they have an offer, or to contact me first
2. You can ask them to fit your schedule, but you should be somewhat flexible. If 3 jobs want interviews in a week, see if you can spread them out. You can easily tell them you have projects going on at work and you won't be available until the following week, etc.

1. I don't think it looks bad to say "no".
2. I always had "doctor's appointments". 3 in one week could be tough though. I would probably make something up and tell my boss I have 3 related appointments to get something checked out that are all in a row. No one will for details.
I'm in a similar position, here's what I've been doing:
1. I let them know they can contact my current employer after an offer is made. No one has had any issues with this.
2. I try to schedule interviews in the morning so that I can come into work after. If you are in the position of scheduling multiple interviews in a week, see if you can take a personal day and do them all in the same day.
