I received an interview at a director competitor doing the exact same role I currently am doing. Should this be successful, I am 10000% sure they would walk me out the second I give notice.
How do I navigate the interview process so as to a. Not say anything confidential to the company and b. Not get fired if my current company finds out I am interviewing. If they find out, is that a firing “with cause”? Anyone ever done this can share their experience? Thank you.

I should mention, the role offers a 30% increase on base, and nearly 50% increase in variable comp. so I really want it.

Not sure about part "a" of your question.. just don't say anything confidential?

Companies are not suppose to share anything with your current employer. They can do a reference check only after they extend an offer. However, if the interviewer has a close relationship with someone at your current employer, they can chat off the record.. In any case, this isn't probable cause for termination.

Has anyone ever posted a general marketing position? We have an open position on our marketing team but we are unsure what type of position to offer. We have a wide variety of needs but don’t necessarily need to have this future person have all these skills. For example we need someone with great copywriting skills and also need someone who is great at digital marketing. This person doesn’t necessarily need to have both skills but if they did great, but if only one, great too.

Recently accepted a temp role as an HR admin for a former employer.

She has since left the company, but there’s crazy turnover in the company & in the HR department in particular. Just that an HR coordinator resigned. Is it worth going back into a dumpster fire w/ no leadership to gain experience?
