She defines reactive job searching as waiting for job postings and being passive, while proactive job searching involves building relationships, researching organizations, and being strategic. Jen highlights the hidden job market, where 85% of roles are filled through referrals or networking. She advises against aimlessly scrolling job boards and applying to numerous positions without a plan.
