How do you interview for other jobs when your employer won’t give you time off to do it?

I am a health care professional, but I work for a call center (it’s a medical job, but has customer service elements to it). I’m in the process of interviewing for jobs, because my pay is way below the acceptable range for someone with my credentials, and frankly, no one wants to work in a call center. It has been extremely difficult finagling time to interview. When I am at work I am expected to take calls, I am not allowed to have down time for other things. I have been getting away with things by using my lunch for interviews, but many of my interviews are long, like 1.5 hours, so I can only take them by taking time off. I suspect my employer knows I’m trying to get out, because almost every time I try and take a half day/whole day I get denied. I am required to…

I closed my LinkedIn account

Thank you to this sub for helping me to make this decision. I only had the free account, so no big deal. The realization finally hit me that it was not helping me in any way and was only another stalking opportunity for anyone with an account. The 'private' views are what finally tipped me over on this. Who feels the need to stalk me or look at my profile in private? Seriously. At least on fb I know who can look at my page. It is like Facebook 10 years ago, a giant echo chamber with everyone sharing and commenting on the same topics. Boring and trite. So long!

saw this on LinkedIn today, and I just think it’s outdated and funny. it should be the other way around, don’t you think? given our current culture of anti work, anti capitalism, anti corporation, most CEOs don’t deserve our respect.

Recruiter Here – Orgs aren’t salary transparent, because they still think the negotiation is a skill/game. It needs to change.

Pay is not a game. Pay should not have some secret super sensitive approach to it, where if you miss one step it's game over. Pay shouldn't be something held over a candidate's head, and argued amongst leaders AFTER the role is posted. If an organization knows it has a need, they should know the budget they can afford. In-house negotiation after the fact is redundant. Salary Transparency NEEDS to be standard across all industries. The opposite is old head toxic thinking, that only adds to anxiety, frustration, and an enlongated process for Candidates, Recruiters, and Hiring Managers alike. It's a win-win. We are all in different stages of our career. You being offered something after 5-6 interviews over 3 weeks, that DOES NOT fit your lifestyle is bullshit. This can all be fixed by just being extremely transparent. Edit: Oh and if we happen to be working together, best…
