I think he can but he should give himself at least 10 days before he can get the card in the mail. if he gets a job offer before then, he should explain to his employer that he is getting his card soon.

There is no harm in applying and sending resumes/CVs out. My fiance has been networking since the day she got here. Everyone she talks to understands they can't hire her until she receives her EAD. It would be nice to have a job offer lined up though :)

The only reason I would suggest maybe waiting is if you are applying for a minimum wage type job, where they will just pass on you, rather than wait for you to get the EAD. Any professional job should be willing to wait a few days/weeks to hire you, if you are the right person for the role.
