job hunt
Seeking new work
A job hunt is the process of searching for employment, involving applications, networking, and interviews.
Also used as a verb: I spent three months job hunting before landing an offer.
The hunt metaphor suggests pursuit and persistence—quarry that must be tracked down rather than simply found.
