Searching for jobs

What is the best way to search for a job?

Create a narrow search or cast a wide net

From the Search for Jobs page, you have two options:

• Enter search criteria such as the job opening ID or job title, a keyword you want to see in the job title or description, or a location in the Search field.
• Apply the filters located at the top of the page.

Understand targeted search

It is recommended to use targeted search. Because Search for Jobs is a global search tool, we recommend you use the search criteria and filters to narrow your list of job requisitions that match your areas of interest.

Notes:

• You may enter search field criteria without applying any filters or apply one or more filters without entering any search field criteria.
• When you use a combination of search criteria and filters, it is necessary to enter information into the Search field to conduct your search, and then narrow down your results by using the filters. Or you can apply filters first and then utilize the Search feature.
• The job requisition list automatically updates when you make a selection in a filter category to display the requisitions that meet your criteria.
• You can make multiple selections in any given filter. For example, you can select multiple locations for specific states and cities. You may also make selections within more than one of the filter categories.
• Within each filter a number appears next to each of the selections indicating the number of requisitions associated with that selection. The filter selections are not alphabetical. They are ordered in decreasing order by number of requisitions aligned to the filter selections.
• To clear your search criteria, click the Clear All button just below the filters at the top.

Understand the Search field

• Keywords. You can narrow your search by using keywords that match those in the job title, job description, or qualifications.
• Requisition ID. This is an identification number assigned to each job requisition. The format of the ID is R-XXXX. You must enter the “R-“.

Understand the filters

• Numbers in parentheses next to filter categories — e.g., California (43) — indicate how many job openings from your search results are in each filter category.
• You may apply multiple filter categories to a search (e.g., Location, Job Family Group), and within any filter category, you can apply multiple selections.
  • When you click any of the location filters, the tool populates job openings with those filter values (e.g., state, region, city). For example, if you select North Carolina for the state filter, the tool populates job openings that list North Carolina as the location. When a requisition shows Multiple, that position is open to more than one location.Location. There are four location filter categories: Region, Country, State, City. You can select multiple options for each category. You do not have to select a country or state before selecting a city. However, due to the number of cities we have business sites, it is recommended that you narrow a location search by country and/or state first.

  Search Results

  After you click the Search field or click on one or more filter options, the page refreshes with a list of jobs that meet your criteria.

  From this list you can:

  • See high-level information about the jobs that meet your search criteria.
  • See a detailed job description by clicking the individual listing which will display the requisition details in a split screen view enabling you to retain your original search results.

  I used a common job title in the Search Jobs criteria box but didn't find the jobs I expected. How can I find them?

  Job titles sometimes contain abbreviations or acronyms. You may want to search again using a Job Family filter such as Customer Service or use keywords that are likely to be in the job description.

  What does a job alert do?

  A job alert runs your search automatically every Monday through Friday evening. If the search finds any new jobs that meet your criteria, you will receive an email. The next time the job alert searches job openings for you, it checks for new jobs added since your last email (you will not receive duplicate emails).

  How do I set up a job alert?

  1. Sign in or create an account.
  2. Click on Job Alerts in the upper right corner.
  3. Click on Create Job Alert.
  4. You will be required to name your job alert and select a frequency of notifications, either daily or weekly.
  5. Then you can populate any of the fields on the Create Job Alert to specify what types of job requisitions you should receive an alert for. In the State category you will first identify the country and then the states within that country will be selectable.
  6. You can filter on as few or as many of the criteria as you want.

  If I sign up for job alert email notifications, will I receive the same job more than once?

  No. You only receive new job postings with each notification.

  How can I stop receiving job alert notifications or edit job alerts?

  1. Sign-in to your account
  2. Click on the Job Alerts in the upper right corner
  3. From the Manage Job Alerts page click on the down arrow next to Manage on the alert you want to Manage
  4. Click on Edit to make updates to the job alert; or
  5. Click on Delete to stop receiving job alerts for this search. Then select OK on the pop-up page to confirm.

  Applications

  How can I find out the status of my application or find the contact information for the recruiter or hiring manager?

  To check the status of your application, go to the My Application panel within the Candidate Home page to view the status of any active or inactive application with the respective tabs. It is the most current information available to candidates. Recruiter names, hiring manager names, and contact information are not available on job applications or from system support resources.

  If I include my resume with my application, do I need to enter my work history, education, licenses and certifications, languages, and other information in the fields?

  No. It’s not required; however, entering your information directly into those fields is the best way to ensure that your information is searchable by recruiters, particularly the information entered in the Work Experience and Licenses & Certifications sections.

  Adding your experience and skill information: To enter information in the Work Experience, Education, Certifications, and Language Skills sections, click Add in the respective section and you will be prompted to provide relevant details. Note that if you add a resume, you are not required to fill out any of these sections with one exception. If you are applying for a job that is designated as an early talent job opening, you are required to provide additional school and degree information.

  Work Experience: If you are entering information about your current job click the I currently work here button and enter your start date. Click Add Another to add more work experience. Click Save and Continue when finished.

  Education: This section will allow you to list one or all of the degrees you have earned, along with the field of study and the school where you acquired the degree. You can also enter multiple degrees. Note that if you are applying for an early talent job, you will be required to provide additional pertinent information about at least one degree. Enter in School or University name. Select Degree from dropdown menu. Click Add Another to add more education. Click Save and Continue when finished.

  Certifications: In this section, enter any licenses or certifications. To see a list of available licenses or certifications click within the search bar and click “Various”. This will expose the list of available selections. You can optionally provide the certification number, issue date and expiration date. Click Add Another to add more work certifications. Click Save and Continue when finished.

  Languages: List any languages you are proficient in. You will be asked to indicate if the language entered is your primary language and what proficiency level (Beginner, Intermediate or Fluent) you are in Reading, Speaking and Writing in this language.
