Sixty-nine percent of workers admit they regularly search for new positions while 30 percent of workers say looking for new jobs is a weekly activity – both of which is attributed to having instant access to so many digital resources, according to a new study by CareerBuilder and Inavero.

"Digital behavior has blurred the distinction between an active and a passive job candidate," says Brent Rasmussen, president of CareerBuilder North America. "The majority of workers are regularly exposed to new job opportunities and are willing to consider them. They may not leave their jobs right away, but they're keeping aware of possibilities and planning for their next career move."

The survey finds respondents also are looking for other opportunities because of their perceptions of their overall work experience. In fact, 53 percent of respondents say they only have jobs, not careers.
