Our site offers two search utilities: a Quick Search and an Advanced Search.
The quick search is located on our home page and allows our users to create a basic job search to receive instant results. You can also use the simple search as the foundation for an advanced search.
Our Advanced Search can be accessed from the search results page. Once you receive job listings from your initial quick search, just click the 'Advanced Search' tab to toggle your search. You'll have opportunity to build a detailed job search - as well as save searches. |
| |
1. I don't see any job titles, locations and/or employer names in my advanced search form. How do I generate searchable data?
Our advanced job search requires you to select your specialty. Your selection will define the options available in the other search fields. |
| |
2. How can I determine the best location selections for my job search?
You can search by zip code, state and/or metro area. Our job search metro areas are broken down based on defined geographical regions. We have tried to create a list that allows you to get results beyond the usual job search options. For example, if you search on jobs in Pennsylvania, Philadelphia Metro Area, you will receive jobs in Philadelphia, but also the surrounding, commutable locations. |
| |
3. What is the difference between searching a State/Metro Area and searching based on a zip code radius?
Selecting a Metro Area allows you to look for jobs within a certain population center and the surrounding areas. This type of search is best if you are not familiar with an exact area, or are looking to get a general idea of what jobs are available in and around major cities or regions.
Searching based on a zip code radius allows you to be very specific about where you want to search for jobs. For example, if you know you want to work close to where you live, you can enter your home zip code, and then select to search a 5 or 10-mile radius. If you like the area where you currently work or go to school, you might want to search a radius around that zip code. You can currently search a radius of 5, 10, 25, 50 or 100 miles from any zip code. |
| |
4. What kinds of ads will I receive if I include National and/or International jobs in my search results?
Along with selecting specific metro areas and/or searching a zip code radius, you can also receive National and International ads in your results. If you select International Ads, your results will include any ads that may match your search criteria from employers outside of the United States. If you include National Ads, your results will include job listings that cannot be classified by a specific area. These ads may be from staffing companies, health systems with many locations, work from home or traveling agencies. |
| |
5. How do I select multiple job titles, employers, etc.?
You'll need to use the advanced search option, and click on the various option boxes to add search criteria. Just select all the job titles, practice settings, employers, etc. that you'd like to search and then click the 'advanced search' button to receive your results. |
| |
6. How do I use the keyword search?
This optional search field allows you to look for very specific words or phrases within our listings. For example, you can enter an exact job title you are looking for, a city name, a state, an employer, etc. |
| |
7. What is a "saved search"?
Job seekers often find that they enter the same search criteria over and over again when they search for jobs. Our 'saved searches' option allows you to enter criteria once, and save it for future visits. If you would like to set up a saved search, you will need to be logged in to the Web site. Once you've run a quick search, you will see an option to 'create or manage saved searches' on your results page. When you return to the site on future visits, you can select your saved search rather than re-enter your search criteria. Also, you can receive results from saved searches via email (please see the ADVANCE Messenger section for more information). |
| |
8. What are detailed search results?
On the search results page, you have the option to "Show Job Description" when viewing your results. If you select this option, your results will automatically display the first few lines of text of the ad. This option can help you determine whether you'd like to view the entire listing by providing a detailed look at the listing. |
Use this section to explore your options for getting the most out of the results you receive from your job search. |
| |
1. How do I apply for jobs?
Once you view the detailed information about a job(s), you can apply through two methods. If you would like to apply for an individual job, employers that are accepting email resumes will have a button in the upper right to "Apply Now!". You can click on this button and submit your online resume.
You will need to use a resume that you have established on our Web site to apply for positions. If you have not created an online resume to use to apply to jobs, please go to our Resume Builder.
Many job listings will also feature a direct web or email link for the employer. You can use these secondary options to contact the employer directly and apply. |

1. What is an ADVANCE Messenger and how do I create one?
Our ADVANCE Messenger service lets you receive job and/or event listings via email. You will receive daily email messages when new listings match the criteria you have selected.
There are a few methods you can use to set up a messenger. Once you have a saved search, you can select to receive results via email as an ADVANCE Messenger. We allow you to store multiple email addresses in our system, and you can receive an ADVANCE Messenger to one or both addresses. If you do not have any email addresses stored with us, you can go to our ADVANCE Messenger section to set up your search and email preferences.
You can also go to the ADVANCE Messenger section of the site to create and manage your messengers.
You can have up to five job and five event searches saved at any time for a total of 10 messenger profiles. You will only receive one ADVANCE Messenger email per email address per day and can stop the service at any time. |
| |
2. How can I change or set up a new email address for receiving an ADVANCE Messenger ?
If you need to update or add an email address for your messenger, visit the 'Manage Existing' section of the ADVANCE Messenger. You can provide us with up to two email addresses and then select which saved searches you would like sent to which email addresses. Once you have email addresses on file, you can also manage how you received search results via email by using the ADVANCE Messenger options in our Advanced Search and Event Search sections.
|
| |
3. How do I edit or delete an existing ADVANCE Messenger ?
If you have an ADVANCE Messenger or a saved search in our system, you can access it by clicking the 'Manage Existing' button within the ADVANCE Messenger section. If you are not logged in, you will be prompted to do so. Once you are logged in, you will see the email addresses we currently have on file for use with your messengers, as well as a list of your existing saved searches. The list of your saved searches will provide options to manage the recipient email, as well as delete, modify and/or renew the messenger. You can also convert the messenger to a saved search by selecting the 'Do Not Send' option. |
| |
4. What is the difference between an ADVANCE Messenger and a saved job search?
ADVANCE Messengers and saved searches are very similar. While the ADVANCE Messenger sends you listings in email, the saved search is available only when you come to the Web site. You can convert any saved search into an ADVANCE Messenger - and visa versa. |
| |
5. What do I do if I can't read or click on the links in my ADVANCE Messenger email?
If you receive an ADVANCE Messenger email, but it only contains plain text and you cannot link to any of the items, you may not be using an email program that allows for Web-based messages. Each ADVANCE Messenger email contains a link toward the end of the message that provides a Web address you can use to access the Messenger online. Use that link to get the contents of your Messenger. As well, you can run any ADVANCE Messenger search at any time from our Web site by logging in, going to the section to manage your existing ADVANCE Messenger and clicking on the name of the search you would like to run.
If you receive ADVANCE Messenger emails containing text URLs, please be sure to check that entire Web address from your Messenger appears in the address bar of your Web browser when you click on a link. Depending on your email program, you may need to cut and paste the full address you wish to reach into your address bar in order to access the correct page. |
