I got what I thought was my dream job in September; and for all intents and purposes, it was a great first job to get since I moved across the country. However, it's taken a sharp nose-dive and I feel it's time to move on (low morale, a significant amount of overtime, crazy boss, the possibility of the company going under).
The problem is, my boss is very two-faced, and I know if I resign she'll make me out to be the bad guy. I'm currently interviewing for new jobs and taking a personal day this week to go out on several interviews at once, hopefully one of which will result in an offer. Without saying that I'm taking a new/better job, I feel that I can resign on the fact that I'm still a full time student and need the time to focus on school (I can balance both on a 40-hour week, but we're talking 50-60 hours at this job and no weekends). How can I best approach the situation? Also, how can I make it seem as though I didn't use my day off to search for new jobs (I said I have a family emergency as it was the only way I would be allowed to use one of my vacay days).
