Applying for a long shot, when to notify current place
in 9 to 5
My DH is looking to apply for a position closer to home that meets his professional goals. He currently has a great job which he likes and enjoys, but an opportunity has presented itself for him to go back to the college level and work. When should he let his current boss know that he has applied and how should he tell him? He gets along very well with his current boss, and we don't know how this will play out. There will probably be a lot of people applying for the job.
I guess the stickier part is I work in the same department and I don't want any backlash. And we don't know if he could get fired or anything else if he takes the chance and applies.
Re: Applying for a long shot, when to notify current place
Unless this is a position within the same company, he shouldn't tell his current boss until he has an offer in hand. Then he should be professional and give him his notice, along with a written resignation letter for HR.
He won't get fired if they don't know he's applying.

Agree with the above posters. He shouldn't submit his notice until he has accepted the college offer.
Also, he should look at his employee manual to see if the company has a policy on how many weeks notice you have to give. For example, at my job managers and below are requested to give two weeks, directors and above are requested to give four weeks. It's not required but it's best to not burn bridges.

This. Telling his boss now would be a great way to get fired.
No, this doesn't change anything. You never, ever tell your boss that you're looking to leave until you have a job offer in hand.

You made it perfectly clear. This doesn't change anything. He is to keep his mouth shut unless/until he gets a new job.
let's just assume for a minute that he works where this kind of information wouldn't get him fired. It would, however, make things awkward for him. All of a sudden people know he's looking for other jobs. So then they start to wonder when the next "perfect" opportunity will come along that will make him want to jump ship. They'll wonder if he's committed to his current job. If they should give certain opportunities for people who are more likely to stay. And so on.
Don't make it awkward or worse.
