Advanced job search
The Advanced search option helps you personalize your job search.
It will narrow down your search results, and this is done by choosing the desired Job Title, Location and Role, the Company type and industry, the minimum monthly Salary, the Career Level and the Employment Type, and Status.
Search criteria:
- Keywords
All: The search will return only jobs that contain all of the keywords you entered. For example, if you enter [oracle java] in the keywords text box and choose "All", the system will return only jobs that contain both words "oracle" and "java". However, note that the words may appear in the job in any order.
Any word: The search will return jobs that contain any (or all) of the keywords you entered.
For example, if you enter [oracle java] in the keywords text box and choose "Any", the system will return jobs that contain the word "oracle", and jobs that have the word "java" and jobs that contain both of them.
Exact Order: The search will return only jobs that contain the entered words in that exact order. For example, if you enter [project manager] in the keywords text box and choose "Exact", the system will return only jobs that contain the words "project manager" in this order.
Boolean: Boolean Search provides you with an advanced method to search the jobs. You can use a combination of keywords and the Boolean operators (AND, OR, and NOT) to retrieve highly relevant jobs that match what you're looking for. For example, using Boolean Search, you may want to search for jobs that contain the phrase "project manager" or the phrase "program manager" as long as the job does not contain the word "construction",
and in all cases, the job must contain the word "PMP". This search can be entered as: PMP AND ("project manager" OR "program manager")
