JOBS, JOBS, JOBS!!!JOB FINDING STRATEGIES

It is important to use certain strategies when searching for jobs on PBA Jobs or on NACElink. Strategy 1: Research your field

1. Go to Resources>Career Explorer to learn more about your industry and what types of jobs go with it. You might be surprised.

2. Learn some of the main keywords for your industry to use as search terms


Strategy 2: Key Words1. Key words are very

important to Job searches in PBA JobLink

2. The way you use search terms will determine what type of jobs you find.1. For example part time

will give different results than parttime or part-time

2. Use a word in multiple ways to find the most listings.


Key Words Continued…• To get partial matches, add

an asterisk to your search term: manage*

• To exclude results which include certain words, prepend them with a minus:manage* -weather

• To search for specific phrases, use double quotes: "store manager"

• Search terms shorter than 3 characters are ignored, except in "phrase" searches, where some (but not all) words may be shorter.


Strategy 3: Location – Narrowing and Widening the SearchWhen using location, keep some things in mind.1. Make sure to list a location. This

will determine a large part of your job availability. Do not be overloaded with jobs that are out of your “range” of possibility.

2. Widen your range enough to include zip codes of large cities near you. You may be listing the right key words but if you only have your settings within a small town you may be missing hundreds of opportunities next door.


Strategy 4: Treat your job search like a part-time job.1. Do not give up just because there

are few opportunities today.2. Never limit yourself to a certain job

title. Your skills may be very transferable.

3. Take the time to fill out all the information in your search and totally complete every application process you start.

4. Persevere and you will find the reward.
