One of my cautions to candidates who are gainfully employed is that you need to think about the ramifications of ticking off the people signing your paychecks. Jeff Jagodzinski learned that lesson this week. He was the head coach of Boston College's successful football program. Jeff had fulfilled two years of a five year contract. Apparently, he made a handshake agreement with the athletic director to stay the entire five years. Over the weekend, rumors abounded that the NY Jets were interviewing him for their vacancy at head coach. The athletic director at BC fired him for taking the interview citing the lack of commitment to his athletes and the school's efforts overall.
Take every precaution imaginable to keep your search quiet if you still value your current situation. The economy has definitely made it harder for employers to remain loyal but please do not give them reasons ro walk you out the door!
