You can look for work before you get the EAD. You can go to job interviews, and you can accept employment. The only thing you can't do is sign an employment contract. You can't sign an employment contract until you have the EAD in hand.

I don't think that is much of a problem since I don't ever remember signing a contract with a US employer. From what I remember, it was always verbal or else I must be getting so old that I don't remember.
