Job Search Strategy When You’re Already Working Full-Time

Searching for a new job while employed requires planning and discretion.

• Use early mornings, evenings, or weekends for applications.
• Avoid applying or interviewing during busy periods at your current job whenever possible.

Don’t update LinkedIn in a way that signals desperation. Use ‘Open to Work’ visible only to recruiters if needed.

Focus on fewer, well-matched roles instead of mass applying to hundreds.
