So do you just randomly answer job listings that fit the bill or is there some better way?

  For me I keep a well updated Linkedin profile and recruiters will drop me a line every now and then. I think you could apply to roles that look interesting but that's a little disingenuous if you're not seriously considering a move.

  Not purely randomly, I only interview at places I think I might want to work, but most of it is from inbound requests via LinkedIn. My LinkedIn profile is recruiter catnip, which helps. I've gone from Trendy Area to Trendy Area (and I'm fortunate that doing so brought me into devops/platform engineering, which I really like!) and I still get hits for mobile/Android gigs despite not touching it since before Android Studio was released. So if a company sounds interesting, sure, I'll go talk to them. I don't actively seek them out, but they tend to find me. (And even if I don't find them particularly compelling, I might be able to sell them on consulting services.)
