De nombreux demandeurs d'emploi inexpérimentés adoptent une stratégie de recherche d'emploi ciblée dans laquelle ils ignorent les offres d'emploi qui semblent sans rapport avec leurs intérêts. Pourtant, bon nombre des emplois qu'ils ignorent au cours de leur recherche d'emploi auraient pu être pertinents pour ces intérêts, car ils offrent des possibilités de développement des compétences. De manière contre-intuitive, une recherche d'emploi exploratoire peut aider ces demandeurs d'emploi à trouver et à occuper des emplois plus pertinents. Dans une expérience (N = 122), nous avons examiné l'effet de l'amorçage d'emplois apparemment non pertinents en tant qu'opportunités de développement de compétences sur les réponses des demandeurs d'emploi inexpérimentés aux offres d'emploi. Par rapport à ceux qui n'ont pas reçu l'amorce, ceux qui ont reçu l'amorce ont rapporté une plus grande pertinence perçue de l'emploi et, à son tour, l'attrait perçu de l'emploi pour les offres d'emploi consultées par la suite. Les résultats suggèrent que les éducateurs professionnels pourraient utiliser l'apprentissage entre pairs, ou la réflexion publique, pour encourager les étudiants à partager leurs idées les uns avec les autres, à recadrer les significations de la pertinence de l'emploi et à rechercher des emplois plus pertinents.
