Finding a Job While Being Employed - as part of the expert series by GeoBeats. A lot of employers are going to be very sensitive if they find out that you’re looking for another job while you’re working for them. So, one of the things that you can do to avoid that situation is don’t post your resume on a job site. Instead, figure out who the people are in your network who you really trust the most and then go to those people and ask them for help breaking into targeted companies. That way you can conduct your job search without causing undue attention to the fact that you’re looking for job. The other thing you can do is use LinkedIn. Make sure you’ve optimized your profile so that it’s effective for people who are searching for somebody with your skill set, and stay visible on LinkedIn by answering questions, posting on the different threads that are related to the groups, and stay on the radar screen of prospective hiring managers; that’s a way to look for a job without officially saying, I’m looking for a job.
