Help: Searching for a job
- Search for multiple keywords or phrases by separating them with spaces or commas:
Examples:
Java C++ HTML
Cleveland, OH
- Search for combined words or phrases by enclosing the words within quotation marks:
Examples:
"Project management"
"New Jersey"
- Find partial word matches by using wildcards:
Examples:
Develop* (search for developer, development etc.)
Manag* (search for manager, management etc.)
Consult* (search for consultant, consulting etc.)
- Make your searches more effective by using Boolean search techniques (learn more):
Examples:
Java AND HTML
CA OR NV
Manager NOT Sales
Engineer AND (CA OR NV)
What is Enhanced view?
- The ‘Enhanced’ view provides a number of extra features and enhancements to greatly improve your job searching speed and efficiency.
- The greatest benefit is that everything is displayed for you on one single page - so you can search, browse, review and apply without ever changing pages.
- The search layout is divided into three main areas – Refinements, Results and Job Details.
- The Refinements area can be collapsed to optimize your screen space.
- As you navigate down the Results, the highlighted job will appear in the Job Details panel, allowing the job to be reviewed without the need to click the job.
- As you navigate through the Results the next set of jobs will be loaded automatically without having to click ‘Next Page’ links.
- The Results and Job Detail areas can be made wider or narrower to suit your requirements.

You can use your keyboard's Up and Down arrow keys to move between jobs.
When a more detailed job requires scrolling, you can also use the Right and Left arrow keys to switch focus from the Results panel to the Job Detail panel.

Please note - if you are unable to access the Enhanced view, you may be using an unsupported web browser (e.g. IE7). In which case, we highly recommend that you upgrade to a newer version.
What is Classic view?
- Classic view provides all of the familiar essentials that you would expect from our Job Search.
- Classic view does not include all of the beneficial features that are part of the Enhanced view.
