    I'm not sure how it is in Canada, but in the UK they can't legally refuse you time off work to attend an interview (or so I'm led to believe).

    When I moved I was straight with my old employers, they were cool, appreciated the honesty, let me take time for the interview even though the time off was deemed unavailable before I told them what it was for.

    I pretty much had to do it this way, as my new job was 200 miles away and not really possible to take care of during a lunch break :)

    The job I was interviewing for then is my current one, and only my second one, so I don't have any other experiences of trying to do the juggle, but if I ever leave this place I pretty much plan to do the same as last time.

    I may have been lucky with understanding bosses though. If your boss is a bell end, I can't help.
