Basic Search Using keywords is an effective way to search for words, phrases and acronyms contained in a job openings or job seeker profiles (e.g., Java, nurse, Oracle, teacher, human resources). How you create your search string will influence your search results. You can refine your search interactively after you see the live results in the Refine Search box on the right.
Advanced Search There are a number of ways you can define your keyword search terms using Boolean operators for a more effective resume search. You can use AND, OR, and quotes "…" to customize your search.
AND Use AND between terms to search for job openings or job seeker profiles that include all surrounding terms. For example, Java AND developer will return only resumes that include both terms. If you don’t separate your terms, (e.g., Java developer), AND is used as the default.
OR Use OR between terms to search for find job openings or job seeker profiles that contain either word surrounding it. For example, programmer OR developer will return job openings or job seeker profiles that have either term. Using OR can be useful when there is more than one word that describes a desired search term.
You can also use AND and OR together in a search. For example, Java OR .NET AND developer will return all job openings or job seeker profiles for Java developers and .NET developers.
QUOTES Use "…" (quotation marks) around multiple terms to search for job openings or job seeker profiles that include exactly the term included in quotes. For example, "Java developer" will return vacancies that include that specific word sequence, rather than separate occurrences of the two words (otherwise the query would also return JavaScript developer positions).
Optionally, you can further restrict your search by location, by industries, and job function. You can also enter keywords you would like to exclude. You can refine your search interactively after you see the live results.
