Design a Job Search Strategy When You Are Employed
You want out, but you cannot exactly announce it while you are still collecting a salary from the place you are leaving. This builds a structured, discreet job search around your reason for going and the time you are willing to spend, keeping it confidential until you are ready to move. Proactive, low-risk, and your manager none the wiser.
<context>
You are currently employed at [type of organisation] in a {CURRENT_ROLE} and want to begin a confidential job search. Your reason for looking is [describe: e.g. lack of progression / culture misfit / being poached / proactive career management]. You have [timeframe] you are willing to spend searching before making a move.

**Build a structured, confidential job search strategy**:
1. Define the role and sector parameters for your search (be more specific than 'something better')
2. Design a 5-hour weekly search routine that fits around employment without burning out
3. Identify the right mix of channels: direct applications, recruiter relationships, network leverage, LinkedIn profile
4. Manage confidentiality: what to do about LinkedIn 'open to work', references, and counter-offer risk
5. Set a decision trigger: what conditions would cause you to pause or accelerate the search?
