I'm curious to ask people who've posted resume's... Don't you have some trepidation that your manager might be secretly reading this notes group or worse yet, some sly fellow employee might forward your posting to your manager??? Please either mail or post responses. -- Dave Taylor Hewlett Packard

Sometime ago I posted an article in the job.net to determine what job opportunities for Technical Editors/Writers were available in the Seattle area. A short time later, a colleague came to me and said he'd seen my posting. He also suggested that I refrain from such posting in the future because it may jeapordize my position. Although at the time the posting was perfectly innocent (I had no in- tention or desire to leave my present employment...I was just testing the waters), I have since refrained from doing even that on the chance that a supervisor may see it, or get wind of it threw some other source. If you get anymore response to your query, I'd appreciate your sharing. Thanks, Tom Moore AT&T Bell Labs

The thought of getting caught looking for another job while gainfully employed by the developers of the U*nix system, while using same, "threw" me for a loop. It wouldn't look very professional to claim to be a Writer/Editor and not know the difference. Thank you for your patience. Tom Moore AT&T Bell Labs

Sounds like a neat way to make your employer a little nervous. Another one is to show up for work in a suit (you usually wear blue jeans) and leave in mid-afternoon for a dentist appointment. On a more serious level, looking for another job is neither legal nor rational grounds for termination. If you do get fired merely for interviewing for a different job, hit 'em with a fat lawsuit. On the other hand suppose you suspect an employee under you is out looking. Thing to do is, give their name to a headhunter who has the perfect lucrative job for that particular individual. One of two things will happen: (1) The employee decides not to take the job the headhunter offers. He or she was probably never serious about changing jobs, and will thereafter settle down for a while and put his or her mind back to work. (2) They take the job. Probably would have left in any case, but this way you get a fat commission from the headhunter. Either way you come out ahead. steve pope (...ucbvax!spp)
