I'm trying to find a new job, and I do have a few interviews scheduled for the next two weeks. The problem is, these all occur during the workday. Do you think it would be okay if I told my boss I was going on sales calls when I'm actually going to interviews? I can't tell my boss the truth.

I’ve had similar instances over the years. I just block out the time on my calendar and let my manager know I have an appointment. I keep it extremely vague and if needed just say it’s personal or health related. If it’s not something that happens on a day to day basis it’s not that big of a deal. Also if able you are able to flex your time or just do the interviews during your lunch (if you have the ability to change your lunch break) managers don’t really pay that much attention. Again just from my experience

I found a company I was really excited about working at. I applied for the job and went through 5 rounds of interviews. At the end they said I was OVER qualified and they want me for a different position higher up in the company. I was super excited they then had me go through 5 more rounds, 3/5 people were the same. The interviews mostly went "didn't you get the job, I highly recommend you? I'll just put you down as a 10". After those were done they told me I was UNDER qualified. Can't win!
