I had an interview for a job a few weeks back and suddenly my current boss pulls me aside and asks me about this company I was interviewing for. I was flabbergasted. I told no one that I was even looking for another job. My current boss told me that someone from this other company called him to ask about me and my credentials. This new company knew I was still working at my current company, I have it stated in plain sight on my resume. Now everyone, including my boss, knows that I’m looking for a new job. Just great.
I didn’t get the job either.
