Do not tell the truth. Your firm absolutely will not help you find a better job than recruiters. In what world is the firm going to use its resources to help you leave? Find some excuse and use that. There's absolutely no reason to inform your current firm that you're looking to leave. That route can only end badly.

Dr appt, sick, sick family member, sick pet, repairman coming to house, there are a thousand lies out there. Tell the truth and your life will be a lot simpler. If you honestly want to leave your firm can help you find a better job than the recruiters.

Tell them you have a personal family emergency

Say you need to work from home for one reason or another due to a delivery or something.

Just say you have a personal appointment. If you are usually more specific, say you have a doctor check up

PTO. say you have to take personal time.

Family member is sick, you have to care for them

The firm is actually helping me find a job right now. Nothing performance related. Was honest with my parnter counselor who understood that not everyone is going to stay and he knows that he'd rather help me be successful in what I want to do so he is doing everything he can

What level are you? ^
