When you don't want your current employer to find out that you are job hunting, there are steps you can take to keep your job search confidential.
The last thing you need to have happen when job searching is for your employer to accidentally find out that you're looking for a new job. It could jeopardize both your current position and future references from your employer.
Don't use your work computer for job searching. Instead, use your laptop or home computer, or even your phone or iPad - there are lots of job search apps you can use. Be really careful what you post on social networking sites. Don't tell your Facebook friends or your LinkedIn connections that you're job searching. Don't tweet about your job search activities either. Even if your boss doesn't follow your updates, someone else may and the word that you're job hunting could get back.
Here are some suggestions on how to effectively job hunt on the sly, so that the wrong person doesn't find out that you are looking to make a move.
