Networking for Junior SA during Sophomore SA

Would it be ok if I was doing phone interviews during work or traveling to superdays during working hours? Obviously the goal is to get the return offer so I wouldn't want people knowing I am interviewing elsewhere. How much say would I get in determining interview/superday dates?

Anyone with insight/experiences?

In the same situation, interested as well. Would ya'll recommend that we are upfront about it and say that "we have interviews with another bank just in case we don't get an offer at current bank, so we're trying to be extra prepared" ? or should we straight out lie about it and say we're doing something else, and what would be a legit excuse for this case?
