Keep it down: Low profile works best to conceal search

To help conceal your job search from your current employers, check out the following tips:

Use a separate email account when discussing job search-related items. Plus, employers would rather receive correspondence from personal accounts than from competitor addresses.

If you have an interview, suit bottoms -- pants, skirts -- are always passable for business casual. If you can't return home before your interview to change, bring a shoulder bag/duffle with a jacket in it, and change while traveling to/from the interview.

Finally, the breakfast interview is an ideal forum. Meetings scheduled at 8 a.m. are often over in time to arrive at work by 9 a.m.
