I graduated in May, and I'm finally starting to get some hits on my resume. My problem is that I already have a full time customer service job. How do people schedule interviews during the workday? I can't just ask my manager to give me a few hours off while I go on an interview.

As a veteran… I’ve interviewed people while they sat in their cars, in a small nook, in a completely empty floor, in a Starbucks… just make sure that you let the recruiter and hiring manager what your limitations are… nobody’s going to fault you for having a job…

Also interested in this issue. Can we schedule during our lunch time?

Usually interviews are 30 mins to an hour. You can usually schedule them for lunch or speak with your supervisor about trading an hour of overtime for personal time off, if necessary.

Is your job in-person? It can be difficult but see if you can schedule during a lunch break. Or schedule first thing in the morning or end of day and ask to come in late/leave early.

It is hard, but don't worry about being too dedicated to your current job if you're interviewing for actual career jobs.

I did see somebody having their interview session in car or cafe during lunch hour

Need advice- Got into an at fault accident a while back, car is being fixed by insurance coverage over $10k. Now my rental got hit by something with a large star damage to the windshield and will have to be replaced since it larger than a coin . Scared if I tell insurance my rate will go up even more. Can I just get a company to replace it and pay out of pocket without telling rental company or insurance ? One company is quoting me $800 which I’m happy to pay. Rental car is a bmw

I am paying PF of amount 2040 getting deducted 2 times from my salary 1st according to CTC and after salary is getting credited then again same amount is deducted, so my question is this correct.
CTC is: PF+ 76185
Salary is: 76185-PF.
PF: 2040 so it's getting deducted 2 times same amount every month. Before salary is paid and after.
