Google job search

the search within the search

After you enter your search in the main Google search bar, click on the blue job search results box and it will bring you the page shown below.

The individual jobs are listed on the left, the selected jobs are shown on the right side.

Most jobs get snapped up quickly so I usually view by Date posted (link shown in yellow below the blue bar)*

My tip: stay with the blue box results, because the scammers show up below it, especially for "work from home jobs"

*Bad news about Posting Dates

Job Posting dates are very often wrong like, more than half the time they are very wrong. Don't panic, if you visit a job board every 1 to 3 days you will become familiar with what is actually new.

 

Before that happens I would recommend making your first step in any job find to copy and paste the job post headline into Google and find the other versions of that job posting and see when they are dated. Keeping in mind some may be reposted for a new opening (I know, I know this sucks)

My tip: when you find companies that seem like a great fit, bookmark their career page (usually a link in the footer bar) and re-visit consistently.

My tip: you'll want a –super easy, no app or system required– way to keep a copy of everything you've sent out. You never know when someone will reply and if it's too much work you're not going to do it, you're going to assume that you'll remember or that you saved it in the site. You need it faster that that.

 

I take screenshots of every ad along with what I sent (together in one shot) and name and date the screenshot as the job name. If there are multiple items I give them a separate folder. They all live in a folder called Jobs, I order by date because people usually call back soon and I like to be able to open the content within seconds of the call start so I'm not umm, wait, who are you-ing.

bonus tip: If you enter a bunch of text into an application, copy and paste it somewhere; into a note or a doc or an app, and save that too in case you need to use that text again later.

I usually keep it all in one doc so I can see it all and grab what I need.
