"Tell them you are ready to move on and you love a challenge and you feel this company can offer you just that."
Onetoplay replied:
"I would be honest. If you're not honest about your decision to interview out and they do have a relationship, your current professor will be honest. You'll look like your admitting fault by hiding the fact that you two don't get along."
Callie S replied:
"I would tell the new professor the truth. I have done it and it worked for me before. Making up stuff might kick you in the butt later. Be honest. If he asked tell him what has been going on."

asked:
"They say it's best to look for a job while you're still employed. Well most employers only interview during business hours so how are you supposed to get time off in the middle of the week, in the middle of the day to go to a job interview? And what if you have multiple interviews during the week? What are you supposed to tell your employer and/or future employer about scheduling?"

"Give your employer an excuse to get the day off, lie or whatever, like everyone else does. Take a sick day. Nobody gets places in this world by always telling the truth. It will never happen."
tigglys replied:
"Many companies will work around your schedule and meet your after work.Otherwise - schedule as late as you can and go to your "Doctor's Appointment""
Freckles95819 replied:
"I am currently dealing with this. Check to see if your company has a make-up time policy. That has been a saving grace for me. That way, you are essentially getting paid to interview while you are still employed. Companies understand about having a job while still looking for another job in the process so they will work around your schedules if they understand the situation. If your current employer does not know that you are interviewing, try spacing out your interviews. You can always say that you have doctor appts, etc...You don't have to tell them what you are doing. Good luck with your job hunting!"
Angie replied:
"Take a personal or vacation day, if you have any. Otherwise, you could try calling in sick. It's not terribly honest, but I was forced to do that once (and I got the job!!)."
jlinderts replied:
"Make the apt. for early morning, and go into work late. Or maybe during your lunch hour. Tell your boss early in advance that you have an apt. and ask if you can stay late to make up your time."
eyes_wide_open replied:
"If you have Personal Holidays or Annual Leave you can always just take the day off for personal reasons.If that's not the case then you should try to schedule more than one interview a day and as close as possible, then call in and tell your boss that you need a couple days off, usually they do not require for you to be specific.If you have a good relationship with your supervisor you can always tell him you are looking for a better opportunity, chances are he doesn't want to lose you and offers you a raise, who knows?"

"It's been more then 3 years since I've had an interview. I'll be having another one tomorow for this job in Califonia. I work for Boeing in Texas and looking to stay with Boeing in California. It'll be a phone interview to start with. If I do well, I might do a face to face interview.What are some typical questions that they ask?All I remember from my last interview was them asking me what was my greatest weakness and greatest strength."

ReBelle replied:
"They will ask what your future plans are with in the company, How you would handle a dispute between you and another employee, Why you want to make the move, and be careful here, if they think you may change your mind and return to Texas, it won't go well. If you have family there preferably older parents, or wife has a really good job offer, etc. They are big into ethics these days, the top salaries have affairs, lie, cheat and steal, and we have to take the ethics classes, study your literature from these classes. They may ask you about how you would avoid a situation that could be misconstrued as sexual harassment. What your position is on employee discipline. That's all I can think of for now."

"Interview questionsInterview guideInterview tipsBe prepared to have concise answers to questions along the lines ofTell me about a time you had conflict with coworker and how you resolved problem.Explain how you would handle particular situationTell me about how you did such and so.....The questions may not all be the type you can answer with facts.Be honest enough to say you don't know the answer if that is the case.Approach the interview with the mindset that you are bringing a lot of good qualities with you and offering your skills to them, rather than standing with your hat in your hand begging for a job. You are looking to further your career and help them, too.Best Wishes"

"These are some questions I asked of Systems Engineers when they came for an interview.1) Why do you want to join my company?2) Why are you considering leaving your present employer?3) What can you offer my company workwise?4) Do you sulk if you are told off?Technical questions would then be asked by myself together with the manager of the hardware and/or the software dept.Technical qualifications would be discussed together with any other academic or personal achievments. Generally the applicant would be allowed to chat and possibly dig him/herself a hole from which they (hopefully) would recover.This is generally a ploy to test a persons honesty. Clive"

"You should definitely arrive on time better yet (a little early 10-15 min)You should dress nice and conservative(Dress shoes, dress pants and a pressed collared shirt or sweater)You should be confident and great your interviewer with a good tone of voice and a firm hand shake.Remember to smile and use plenty of eye contact. Oh and have good posture!It would be a good idea to do some research ,if posible on the companys website, so you can establish some great questions to ask your interviewer about the company or open position. Prepare yourself for an interviewers questions. Questions often includ.Describe yourself.Describe the last time you were in a position of responsibility or provided good customer service.Why do you want to work for our company?What sets you apart from other applicants for this position?Do you have prior work experience?What do you like about our company?etc.Remember not to be afraid to sell yourself, tell them why your the best person for the job. Remember to thank your interviewer and leave with another firm handshake and smile. Really just be confident, well prepared, and on time. The interview should go great :)"

"First and foremost: proper preparation prevents poor performance! Go over some interview questions out loud with yourself. Make sure to shake everyone's hands when you meet them and when you leave; thank them as well. Greet people by their names when they are introduced to you...Make sure you thoroughly understand the position you are applying for as well as the department it is in. Read up on the company at their website; be familiar with their work; you may even be able to see pics of their staff and maybe even the person/people you will be interviewing with. This is really helpful because their faces will be familiar to you when you meet them; calms the nerves a bit.You may want to bring some type of visual aid with you, something to show relevant work you have done, or something general that you can make relevant. For example a project that demonstrates creativity etc. Wait until they bring up a relevant point and then ask if they would like to see what you have brought. If you don't have much relevant work experience draw upon volunteer or college class work/projects. It will be up to you to demonstrate how they are relevant. Another good point is to always have some basic follow up questions. You probably only want to ask 2 or three max. At least one standard is 'what do you see as the most challenging part of the position'; try to follow their comment by saying you are familiar with whatever they say or briefly explaining that you can handle that situation etc.The thank you note is an excellent idea so try to remember the names of the people you meet or ask for their business cards. Basically an interview is about marketing and your product is your experience, knowledge, and creativity etc. You want to advertise these things and make them desirable to the company but try to avoid false advertising by exaggerating; stick to your true personality, experience etc."
