If you’re satisfied with your current position but open to new possibilities, you don’t have to shout from the rooftops that you’re searching for a job and risk your current employment. An option is passive job searching – which has risen in popularity in the last few years.
Passive vs. Active Job Searching
Before we get into the tips: what is passive job searching?
Active job searching is what you typically think of when you think of someone looking for a job – they’re searching for jobs online, applying for jobs, networking, attending job fairs, etc.
A passive job seeker is someone who is already employed, but is open to a new opportunity. They’re likely not searching for jobs in the same way an active seeker is, but they’re also not likely to shut down possibilities.
