To search for something or consider other options.
زمینه فرهنگی
The 'Flexicurity' model encourages workers to 'se sig om efter' better matches, leading to high job satisfaction and a dynamic economy. Danes are very house-proud. 'At se sig om efter' a new home is a common social topic, even if one isn't planning to move immediately. Danes are price-conscious and often 'ser sig om efter' better deals on insurance, electricity, and internet. Using this phrase in a relationship context can be seen as a sign of 'modern dating' or 'serial monogamy' in urban Denmark.
The LinkedIn Trick
Use this phrase in your LinkedIn summary: 'Jeg ser mig altid om efter spændende netværksmuligheder.' It sounds professional and open.
Don't forget 'sig'!
Without the reflexive pronoun, the sentence is grammatically broken. Always check your subject (Jeg -> mig, Vi -> os).

The 'Bare kigge' rule
In shops, if a clerk asks if you need help, you can say 'Jeg ser mig bare lidt om' (I'm just looking around). You don't need the 'efter' here because you aren't looking for something specific yet.
Use with 'begyndt'
It sounds very natural to say 'Jeg er begyndt at se mig om efter...' (I have started looking for...).
