Definition
求职 (qiú zhí) means 'to seek employment' — it focuses on the active job search process by the candidate. Contrast with 应聘 (yìng pìn), which means applying for a specific position, and 招聘 (zhāo pìn), which is the employer's act of recruiting. 就业 (jiù yè) is the result: getting a job or being employed.
