QUESTION: I want to transition from my current job to a new position with a different company. How should I approach my employer about taking time off for interviews?
ANSWER: My preference would be to use vacation time, or if possible, schedule any interviews during your lunch break.
In a situation like this this, the honorable thing is for you to make the sacrifice.
You don’t have to tell an employer all your plans when you take time off, but you don’t want to lie to them, either.
Just letting them know you have a personal matter to attend to, and you don’t feel it’s right to take care of it on company time, is enough.
