My currently employer is paying me very very little money (and no insurance to boot!). How can I look for a higher paying job while still working at my current one? Usually new employers want to contact all previous employers for verification. Any inputs would be appreciated. Thank you.

you can go job hunting on the net. there are a couple of websites that caters to job hunters who can't go out of their offices during weekdays. prepare your resume and visit www.jobstreet.com and post your resume there. you can also send out your resume to possible companies by mailing them your resume and application letter. during your free time you can look for a job in a newspaper and jot down their addresses so you can send them your papers. and if they want to ask for your previous employer, you can still give them the last one you had before this one or if you have some friends in your H.R. or Admin department, you can ask them to vouch for you and give the new employers your current employer's number as long as the call will fall to the right people (you know, the one's you've talked about your job hunting). good luck and you know your capabilities so you know what you deserve...go for girl!

Potential employers understand if they can't contact your current employer. They should definitely ask you first if they want to. As long as you have other references, shouldn't be a minus for you.

They don't have to call your employer per your request... You can look for a job either on line or newspaper, or through networking... But you need to make a valid effort, so don't say you want it do it...
good luck

on your off days dedicate that time to job hunts..newspapers, online ads, retail stores at mall. apply for whatever you can that you are interested in. your boss doesnt have to know you are looking for a new job. if and when they call to schedule interview schedule it for your off day. continue to work at your job. make sure you let the new company know you have to give notice and when they ask if they can contact say id prefer not as they do not know im looking for a new job. they will ask for your reason for leaving this job and you should say no room for growth in company.

Work your present job while working a side job as well (for instance online part-time) until you can replace the income at your present job & make the transition.
Best Wishes!

GET USED TO IT. NOT BEING MEAN, BUT THE WORKPLACE HAS BASICALLY BECOME A WAR ZONE. BACKSTABBING, GOSSIPING, IS ALL FOR SABOTAGING BECAUSE JOB SECURITY IS NO LONGER.
JUST THE WHOLE MARKET (IE JOB, HOUSING) SHOULD TELL YOU SOMETHING. WE ARE IN A SLUMP AND UNTIL BUSH DECIDES TO STEP DOWN AS PRESIDENT EXTRAORDINAIRE (YUP, I WAS ONE OF THE TARDS THAT VOTED FOR HIM) WE WILL NOT SEE A BETTER MARKET UNTIL 2008. I WOULD STAY THERE, IGNORE THE BACKSTABBERS, AND IF YOU GET FIRED, ATLEAST YOU CAN COLLECT UNEMPLOYMENT LIKE I DO. I GET TO WATCH MY SOAPS ALL DAY WHILE COLLECTING A PAYCHECK. :) LIFE IS GOOD.
A BACKSTABBER GOT ME FIRED, SO I COLLECTED UNEMPLOYMENT. :)

You do not necessarily need to give the details of the manager as referee, you can talk to your supervisor to cover as a referee.
