Legally no they can't as it is not illegal to go and do things within your free time such as an interview. That is why most job application froms include a question of whether you (the applicant) agree for this new prospective employer to contact your present / previous employer now or after they offer you the pending job!

Your employer may become unhappy by the knowledge that you were seeking employment somewhere else without informing them before hand. So in theory it depends on how your employer reacts to your intentions of wanting to leave; but in reality it is not illegal and therefore your employer would be committing what is known as unfair dismissal if they decide to fire you.

YES! All independent companies have the right to a strict legal policy. I have seen this happen several times. They can reserve that right. Conflict of interest.

Yes. As unfair as it is in most states you can be fired for any reason as long as it is not discrimination. but I did say MOST states so i would look into your states laws.

How do the purposes of interviewing and interrogation differ?

interviewing is different from interrogation because interviewing is being asked questions that you dont have to answer like reporters do to famous people. However,interrogation consists of questions you have to ask such as when someones caught in murder and there could be many suspects they are taken by cops for interogation. The main thingyouhave to remember is that interrogation is forcefull but interviewing is not. i hope i have answered everyones question
