Is there a strategic way of being discreet when seeking out a new job? I'm not quite ready to leave just yet but I want to put my foot in the door of another institution and at least poke around to get some general information. The problem is that it is a university-affiliated institution and I'm currently at another university-affiliated institution and my current place has no idea that I'm planning on leaving in the near future. I do not want the other place telling my current place of employment that I've reached out to them because it will make the rest of my remaining time to be extremely painful and terrible especially since I'm only at the point that I'm trying to explore options out there and not ready to sign on the dotted line yet so to speak. However, the world of academic psychiatry is small, and there's politics, and people talk...
Is there a polite yet firm way of telling the place of interest that I would like any discussion to be private? Or is this a lost cause?
