How to Get the Most From an Indeed.com Job Search

Indeed.com is a simple-looking job search board. It's almost Google-like in its simple appearance, but offers some powerful job search options if you make the most of your searching ability. You can't beat this site for ease of use and fast results. Here are ways to use indeed.com effectively.

Things You'll Need

• A Web browser

Instructions

1. 

   Begin by typing in a job title, keyword or company name in the search form. If you want, you can also enter a city or a zip code.

2. Instead of letting indeed.com guess about the word you enter, you can enter a job title like this in the search field title: "web developer."

3. 

   Using the advanced search is even more powerful. You can search by salary, company, job and zip code all in one quick search.

4. The advanced search allows you to look for full time, part time, contract and other types of jobs. You can also decide whether to search all job boards or only employer websites. You can decide whether to include or exclude staffing agency job boards in your search.

5. If indeed.com doesn't find a job in your area that fits your search criteria, it will look nationwide. And it will offer suggestions for broadening your search to help you find something similar locally.
