Looking for jobs is always allowed, applying for them might be a whole different story. Either way, I doubt many people would be interested because there is no 100% guarantee you will be issued an EAD. By that time, they might have found someone else to do that same job.

N400 Timeline:

12/14/11 - Sending out N400 package

12/19/11 - Received by USCIS

12/21/11 - NOA date

12/22/11 - Check cashed

12/27/11 - Received NOA

02/06/12 - Received yellow letter (pre-interview case file review)

03/13/12 - Placed in line for interview scheduling (3 yr anniversary)

03/17/12 - Received interview letter

04/17/12 - Interview - No decision, application under further review

04/17/12 - Biometrics

04/25/12 - Placed in line for oath scheduling (so I'm approved yay!)

04/27/12 - Received oath ceremony date

05/09/12 - Oath ceremony!!

ditto,

plus if you don't have your SS card yet. after getting you EAD, you have to apply for a social security number, which will take more time.

employers won't accept you until you have both

Yes and NO. Yes u can look for jobs but NO u can not work yet. No company will be interested to hire you without the legal documentations authorizing you to work here legally. U need to work on getting your EAD and SSN first. Once you have that then it would be easy for u to get a job.
