Office requires 5 days in office. How am I supposed to navigate recruiting?

My company is old school (part of the reason I want to leave). How do I take networking calls and interviews and not piss anyone off?

I’ve already been through an entire round of interviews (no offer) and can’t use the dentist excuse.

Take a walk, find a park/coffee shop, etc for networking/screening calls, for formal interviews find a coworking space and book their conference room. Schedule those when your chain of command is already busy (I check my manager's calendar first thing in the morning and work my day around it for various reasons)

 

Anyone have any stories of interviewing in the office and having someone overhear? Always a fear of mine.

 

I recently interviewed in my office’s kitchen, if it makes you feel better.
