How do you find time for interviews and calls when they have to take place during the day? I can block my calendar but it will be scheduled over anyway and if someone pings me I won't be able to respond so they'll realize I'm not working

Say you have to step away because you have an appointment with a chiropractor/dentist/cleaner/plumber/babysitter/literally whatever. As BA1 said, we aren’t saving lives here.. people can wait an hour or two.

If your coworkers are that intrusive, block off the time and come up with a cover story if someone questions it. “Medical appointment” gives you a straightforward answer that no one is entitled to details about but could invite gossip in some workplaces. If you don’t want to risk that speculation, maybe you needed to transport a relative to a doctor’s appointment. Banks and government agencies are typically only open during the day, so hypothetically you may have had some business to take care of there. A vet appointment would also work at most workplaces.

If you’re interviewing all the time and absent from work, I think you have bigger issues. Take a sick day or pto if it’s really that intrusive. A few interviews now and then is no big deal

Again it is objectively stupid to think you cannot set boundaries with your engagement team or to think you don’t have protected time off. If you can’t understand that then I hope your interviews go really well
