Looking for a job while on the job?

Diane Stafford, the careers columnist at the Kansas City Star, interviews an HR professional who reports that many people apparently look for work while they're at work.

Not good.

Their miscues:

 

  • They use their work e-mails to job hunt.
  • They use the office fax machine to submit material
  • They do phone interviews while at work.

Stafford advises her readers to tell potential employers they'd be happy to talk when they're not at work.
