Part II – Archetype I “The Passive Networkers“

“Not actively looking… but always open to exciting new opportunities”

Their headline is calm. Their DMs are chaos.

They claim contentment, but you’ll find them quietly liking posts from recruiters, updating their headline to include “strategic,” and commenting on hiring manager posts like their life depends on it.

Their energy is “I’m not desperate, but I am available.”

Signature moves:

Casual mentions of career shifts without admitting they’re looking

“Just exploring” DMs to industry insiders

“Networking coffee chats” that are really disguised job interviews

Self-test: Ever sent 14 connection requests before pretending to “stumble upon” a job post? Tactical genius.
