Answer 20

Tell them you have a job interview, they can't stand in your way. Most employers are happy to see people who have served them well move onto something better if they want to. Leave on good terms, and tell no lies. You may want to return there one day.

Answer 21

Unless you are being made redundant DO NOT tell them you are going for another interview.... that means if anything happens and they need to let someone go they will automatically get rid of you because you want to go.

Say you have a doctors appointment, they cant say anything to that, and they cant ask you what its about either.

Answer 22

just call and say that you are not feeling well. and don't say that you are going to an interview, never, you dont know if you are gonna get hired for sure.

Answer 23

Ring them and admit what your doing honesty is the best policy at the end of the day. They will be asking for references from your current company so wont go down well if you lie about going to an interview.

Answer 24

Just say you have a personal family emergency that you seriously need to attend to in the morning and that you'll see them in the afternoon.

Answer 25

Don't lie. Just say that you need the morning off for an urgent appointment. If they ask what, say that it's a personal matter. It is always best to stick to the truth if at all possible - you don't know who knows who- and its is embarrassing for everyone if you are found out after a lie.

Answer 26

I wouldn't recommend phoning in sick - you are basically lying to your employer and what if you bump into someone you know? Why not ask for a holiday due to personal business?  Why should your colleagues have to cover your fake sickness because you have chosen to lie to your employer?  Remember that when a new employer asks for references the will ask about your sick record and do you really want to risk your current employer giving them details of your time off that then shows you have lied?
