2. Search by Job Title
When you begin entering a term in the Job Title search
box, options for common job titles that include that term
will appear in a drop-down menu. Select one or keep
typing to narrow your search.

You can also do a more general search
for a department, such as “Accounting,” to
broaden results.
3. Search by Skills or Keywords
Job-Search Tips 3
If you want to work with a specific skill or process, you
can conduct a search based on those skills.
For instance, a search for the word “editor” as a skill brings up
potentially relevant jobs that include that word in their description.
4. Industry-Specific Job Search
You can also search for roles in specific industries. If
you’re seeking a marketing job in the pharmaceutical
industry, for instance, you would put “marketing” in the
title section and “pharmaceutical” in the skills section.

New jobs are added daily. Plus, you can
save your search criteria to be notified
when new job matches are posted. It’s
like having a personal recruiter trying to
find you the perfect job at all times.
Another way to broaden your search is to increase its
radius, via the drop-down menu beneath the Location
section. Also, enter multiple states by separating them
with commas.
