Don't look at ads or do your resume or cover letter at work.

If you get an interview and take time off of work for it, don't show up that day in your suit (unless you have to wear a suit every day in your current office anyway). It'll definitely raise eyebrows.

Don't let the potential employer contact your current employer.

If things are looking promising with a new job, don't tell anyone in your office that you're most likely leaving, just in case things don't work out.

Be smart, yo.
True...the main point is to be smart about it. Don't do anything that will leave you out on the street.

It's definitely not easy, but don't be blatant. Don't talk about it loudly, don't ask questions like "So, say I was leaving your company. Would you be a reference for me?"

I'm going through it right now; it definitely adds another stress to the day-to-day work situation, but if you're careful you should be fine.
