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!!!!

that number 2 may earn him sack letter. . .
he'd rather loose him than loose his life. . .

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.

If either of your parents has died before, then the same parent or the other one must die now. Tell them your Papa or Mama just died and you need to rush down home. Just like Civil Servants do. Some of them, their Papa don die 20times. Lol.

Hey what's up!
I've come across a profile on instagram lately and now I want to share sth with u. There they post pictures of people who had been literally nothing and became everything, really successful. There it is: https://www.instagram.com/global_intergold/?hl=en. I was wondering how they did it and 've found out that it's because of gold. The thing is, they buy gold in some Global InterGold shop and earn with it. Might be helpful for those who are interested in gold.
PS: the pics are fabulous. So motivating! cheesy

Nigeria the nation of liars!! No one should talk when next the country is referred to as fantastically corrupt, more of fantastically dishonest.

OP,
Hope you know a bird in hand is worth two in the bush. You have secured a job with a reasonable pay and you want to jeopardize it for something not absolutely certain; you also recently still took time off not long ago. Don't think your boss is not noticing all these, build a good foundation in this your current job, get more skills, and when it's time to move you will know.

Re: Got An Interview, How Do You Tell Your Present Boss? by OlujobaSamuel: 9:18am On May 12, 2016
op, I don't want you to lie, so I will advise you on a professional level.
we are in a cold weather period, get a very chilled schweppes, take it 2days before the interview, you will have catarrh that day or next, there's every likelihood that it will leads to malaria as it's also a symptom of fever, when it becomes chronic the next day, tell them you won't be available tomorrow because you need to treat yourself of fever.
they will even suggest you not to self medicate but to visit a hospital due to the way you will look like, after work, get antimalarial and septrin plus vit-c, you are good to go for the interview.
no lies, got what you want, back to work. hope for the best.

What if he isn't mobile?

Op, I will advise you stick to your job. What if the job you're pursuing, they begin to delay salaries or retrench their staff? Don't think of the present. Relax.

Re: Got An Interview, How Do You Tell Your Present Boss? by zeedof(m): 11:13am On May 12, 2016
If your current working place has restroom, try to spend 90% of your working hour a day before your interview in restroom, tell your boss you having stomach issue and you have been taking many med. am sure your boss won't be expecting you next day or you can easily tell your boss you in hospital... Don't take it as lie am a MOG only giving you a way forward
