A survey in Europe shows most employees search for a new job ON the job. The hottest times to hunt? Between 10.00am and 3.30pm -- the meat of the workday. Did it really take a year-long survey to figure this out? Also, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays are not popular job hunting days. The French are the least likely to look while on the clock -- most of them hit the classifieds between 5:00am and 7:00am. Working on a new job is easier than ever these days since everybody's got connections -- Internet connections.
