Conducting a search on Get The Job is easy.
To begin a search, simply type the word(s) or phrase that best describes the job you want into the search request box and hit the Enter key or click the Job Search button.
The Get The Job search engine will produce a list of jobs that match your search terms, with the most relevant jobs (i.e., those that best match the search terms you entered) appearing first.
Here are some tips to help you maximize the effectiveness of your search:
Choosing the right search terms is the key to finding the job you want.
Start with the most obvious descriptive terms; for example, if you're looking for a job involving computer programming, enter “computer programming” into the search field.
NOTE: The quotation marks tell the computer to consider the two words as a single term.
However, if you are looking for a computer programming job in a specific industry and location, such as healthcare and Atlanta, you'll get better results if you include all of that information in your search request. For example:
“computer programming” healthcare Atlanta
If you are also willing to consider computer programming jobs in healthcare elsewhere in Georgia, you would use the following terms:
“computer programming” healthcare Atlanta OR Georgia
NOTE: The term OR tells the computer that you are willing to see jobs in Atlanta or anyplace else in Georgia.
Choose your search terms carefully; the Get The Job search engine looks for exactly the terms you enter, so computer programming healthcare Atlanta will deliver better results than a more vague set of terms, such as computers in Georgia.
Get The Job searches are not case sensitive. All letters, regardless of how you enter them, will be understood as lower case by the search engine. For example, searches for Mayo Clinic, mayo clinic and mAyO CLINIC will all return the same results.
There is no need to include the word "and" between your search terms. The Get The Job search engine only returns results that include all of your search terms. However, keep in mind that the order in which you enter the terms will affect the search results, as the search engine associates the order of the terms with their importance to you. To restrict a search further, simply include more terms. For example, to search for a computer programming job in Atlanta, type computer programming Atlanta.
To keep the search process as fast and efficient as possible, the Get The Job search engine ignores common words and terms, such as "where" and "how", as well as certain single digits and single letters. However, if a common word or character is essential to getting the results you want, you can require the search engine to consider it by putting a "+" sign in front of the word.
NOTE: Be sure to include a space before the "+" sign.
The Get the Job search engine has the ability to search not only for the terms you specify, but also for words that are similar to some or all of those terms. For example, if you search for graphic design advertising agencies, the search engine also will identify graphic design opportunities in other sectors, such as corporate, healthcare and other, related variations of your terms. When such related terms are included in your search results, they will be highlightTiped for your information.
If you only want an exact phrase included in your search results, simply put quotation marks around the words in the phrase. For example, you might enter “intensive care nursing” or “commercial lending”. This technique is particularly effective if you're using proper names, such as “Mayo Clinic” or “Bank of America” in your search.
If your search term has more than one meaning you can focus the search engine by putting a minus sign ("-") in front of words related to the meaning you want to avoid. For example, to find job opportunities related to graphic design, but not interior design, enter: Design – interior.
NOTE: Be sure to include a space before the minus sign.
