Keeping your job search a secret from the boss BOSTON, MA -- Q. I'm applying for a new position, but don't want my boss to know. Is there such a thing as a confidential job search? A. You're wise to be concerned about confidentiality when it comes to job hunting. Looking for a new opportunity while employed can put your current position at risk. As cautious as you may be, you need to be prepared for your search to be exposed. Develop the response you would use if your boss was to find out.

Many people want to tell their office colleagues they are starting a search for a new job. But sharing such information can put them in a difficult position if they are approached by an inquisitive manager. Decide whether it's in your best interest, or theirs, for you to go public about your situation prior to accepting an outside offer. When you update your resume, use a personal e-mail address and your cell or home phone number. Complete this work on your own time and don't make copies of your resume at the office.

LinkedIn can be used effectively for people with jobs who are looking for jobs. So make sure to update your LinkedIn profile. Use "confidential" in the subject line of any e-mails related to a job search. Make sure to you use the confidentiality feature when posting your resume on career sites and job boards.
