- Do you go back home and start applying?
- Isn’t it tiring? You work 2 full time jobs.
- Do you keep it a secret from your coworkers or do you ask them for advice? Some industries are so small you need to talk to people within the industry. You may simply want to change departments within the same big company: management is going to notice if you start comparing job conditions and payment, they can sabotage you, even if you change within the same company.
- If you want to keep it a secret, what excuses do you tell the gossips?
Even if you’re not looking for a job, it can be fun to take an afternoon off, wear a suit that day, and don’t acknowledge any questions about it!
My fantasy is wearing a suit and applying to fast food jobs. And when they read my resume and ask why I want to transition from senior engineer to Night Manager, I want to say things like “I’m not legally allowed to talk about it” and then see how bad of a employee I can be before they fire me.
That exact scene (wearing a suit as an older guy to a fast food interview and pretending to be confused at their confusion) was in the plot of American Beauty.
