Got An Interview, How Do You Tell Your Present Boss? by Oluseguntee: 3:58am On May 12, 2016
I recently got a job this month. Their pay is actually good compared to others. Before I resumed there, I had done a test somewhere else which promises to pay better than this one I am working in. They now called me this week for a final test that will come up next week. My problem is how do you tell my present work place you have an interview somewhere else considering I just resumed with them. Note: I took permission for something few days ago. Please help a bro.

You can't eat your cake and have it....Unless you are a magician.

if it is absolutely impossible for you
to take a day off,
1. fall sick intentionally and the hospital will be ur interview and show up at work the following day looking healthier than all your co-workers

2. lie that your mum's mother sister paternal grandma died (the idea is to confuse him) and that you are suppose to dig the grave according to tradition or the consequence will be that your boss will die in 7days (the idea is to give him knockout that will make him give you one month off)

And if these didn't work, then read my first sentence again and resign if it is worth it cos you will create a job for another job seeker. GOODLUCK!!!!

Just call in sick and go for your interview. The "I'm sick" excuse has always been saving employees since the days of Adam, it can never be overused. undecided

Why not apply for a casual leave? That would enable you take like half a day off to go for your test.

Don't forget to lie on your back with your head over the edge of the bed when you make the call.

Thank me later

You just resumed work and you're thinking of jumping out already? There's no excuse for this bro. You already creating bad impression as someone who has a lot of baggage and won't be OK as a employee and colleague.

Just say you have USA visa interview and the date has been given to you before you got your present job.tell your boss you will be done before 12 noon.(you know you won't be done anyway,just to keep him calm)
