job hunting
Career search process
Job hunting is the process of seeking employment—searching listings, submitting applications, networking, interviewing.
The term frames unemployment as an active pursuit rather than a passive state: I've been job hunting for three months.
Also appears as a verb: She's been job hunting since the layoffs.
