re: Tell boss I'm interviewing?

I'm in a good spot and regularly get emails from recruiters, but I see jobs posted all the time that require masters for basic data entry or other entry level positions and I have to laugh. I'm hiring for an entry level position and I asked for one year of either paid or proven volunteer experience in the field. I remember trying to get my foot in the door and I'm happy to take a chance on someone who may not be super experienced but eager and trainable

I agree, but in the defense of employers, bachelors degrees nowadays are essentially what high school diplomas were 15 years ago. Someone with a masters degree is that much more likely to have the professional and intellectual maturity that employers need, even for mundane entry level jobs.

Do not tell them until you've accepted the offer and have to turn in your two weeks notice.

Your current employer could fire you on the spot and if you don't get the job, you're pretty much screwed.
