If you want a decent reference i would suggest you speak to your immediate superior and ask him/her how much notice they require, at the same time discuss time off for interviews. Good luck with the job hunt.

Take your future in to your own hands , but don't put yourself out of work doing it .
When applying for positions explain that you would be grateful if interviews could be held at a time that will not interfere with your present employment ,
Then at the interview explain that you would like to be able to give your company the benefit of at least some notice so that they might find a replacement .
Thus the problems you have will in fact be an advantage because they allow potential employers to see how responsible you are .

Two weeks is the minimum, but if you have a specialized job that may be hard to refill, I'd try to give 4 weeks notice, but that isn't required. It also depends on how quickly your new employer needs you to start.
I try to work my interviews around lunch time - no questions asked. Otherwise, I just say I have a personal meeting and would like to take a couple hours off on X day.

talk to your shop steward, just because you dont have a contract, doesnt mean you dont have a job,, if you walk out under fedral labor law, you broke the law, and the company has no oblgation to give you a good resume or take you back later if the union gets a favorable contract later. think first whatever you do. if you have to attend a good future job interview, thats what personal time is for, and two weeks is considered the usual lead time to switch / give notice, your new company will be watching what you do regarding courteous treatment of your old bosses. yes it does matter.

If you have no contract of employment i'm fairly sure the minimum you have to give by law is one week.
If i'm interviewing i just book holiday and if they ask me what i'm doing i just tell them i'm attending an interview. That can be a real wake up call for them, they can't really do anything about it.
