interviewing process when still working in current company

this is pretty common and i think it has already been an acceptable practice for most of us, even the industries and the companies, otherwise knowing we are still employed, they would probably not be calling if they do not think there is nothing wrong with that. but i guess its just a matter of chance when you are called and you are in a meeting, or when you had to leave for an interview, etc. I was in the situation before but sometimes the calls are not too long. :D

I haven't experienced such a situation. But maybe if i were in your shoes, i would do the same , go out to answer the phone. But it is a protocol that whenever you are in a meeting and a call alerted you, even without ringing, that you should go out to answer it.

Here in the USA we don't really have to tell our current employers anything. We can give them a two weeks notice and them be none the wiser to it. They may ask but we don't have to be honest with them on it. In fact, sometimes if you do tell them what you are doing you can be fired for it. I mean to say that if you say "Well I've got another job with" when giving your two weeks notice, especially if it's a competitor they will often times find a reason to fire you before the two weeks notice is up or tell you you needn't work the whole notice. Most of the time, people when looking for another job, will not tell the employer at all, unless it's someone they can trust not to unjustly fire them. Here we usually just say "I'm giving my two weeks notice" and either give it verbally or written, or both.

i think its normally but for avoiding your current boss or company hurt, you must be smart when you are interviewing with another company...

i just tell them to text me and call me at home at the hours am not from a job. this way i would not get disturb in the office. also when i apply i make sure the boss does not know it. so if really sure i would get the position then i just submit my resignation and get my employment certificate. this type of interviewing process when need just make excuses to get a valid absence such having a sickness but the truth is i am applying for a job.

I think one should always be prepared for this kind of call when they have applied for an interview. Like somebody has just said, they are not that long...and if your boss gets curous you can always say that it is nothing that important.
