In a "General Search" you can request any and all job listings and/or recuiters, employment agencies, and industry companies in both the Job Listing and Guest Book databases by any combination of:
Keyword, City, State, Zip Codes, and/or Country.

Keep in mind that the more information you enter in a single field or in multiple fields, the more restictive your overall search will become.

If, for example, you wanted to search for all prospective jobs and/or businesses which included the program language "C++" in their keyword designation, you would fill out the "Keyword" search field as follows and then click the "Begin Search" Button.

If you wanted to search for all job possiblities and/or listed companies with the "C++" designation in San Jose, California, the appropriate fields would look as follows:

In other words, every field where a value is entered further restricts or filters the search that is performed.

Conversely, if you merely want to list all jobs, companies and/or agencies in the databases from California, the appropriate field entries should appear as follows:

Keep in mind that if you do NOT want to limit your search to the criteria value in a "drop down box", (such as "State") make sure that the "Any" value is selected and displayed (Clicking the "Clear" Button will reset these values).

Thus, if you want to alter your search criteria, make sure you clear all the previous entries in fields that contain information (or click the "Clear" Button") so that subsequent searches are not restricted by these previous entries.

Similarly, the "Specific Search" area allows you to search the Job Listing and Guest Book databases for a specific entry of a given company by their e-mail address, company name, and/or contact name ignoring those entries made in the "General Search" area above it.

Therefore, you can use the flexibility of this search function to taylor your job search in a number of different ways. Try not to limit your search at first so that you can evaluate as many of the available listings as possible. However, also note that if your criteria selections produce results that include more than 100 listings, you will receive a message at the bottom of the search results screen conveying this fact. If this happens, go back and try to further limit or refine your search choices.

Jobs and companies are added on a daily basis so check back frequently. If you have any questions or problems, please feel free to e-mail us so we may help you with this function.

E-Mail Address

If you know the E-Mail Address of the individual you want to search for enter it here. You need only enter any part of the E-Mail Address if you do not know the exact entire string. You need not use an "*". Wild card entries are already assumed. The search is not case sensitive. Leaving this field blank will include all E-Mail Addresses with no restrictions.

Company Name

If you are looking for a spacific company, enter the full or partial Company Name to include in your search. All postings that match exactly to what you enter here as a Company Name will be included. Wild cards are assumed so that partial entries will be used for exact matches. The search is not case sensitive. Leaving this field blank will include all Company Names in the search with no restrictions.

Contact

If you know the name of the person you are searching for, enter the full or partial Contact Name to include in your search. All postings that match exactly to what you enter here as a Contact Name will be included. Wild cards are assumed so that partial entries will be used for exact matches. If you only know the first name of the contact, you can enter that here and the search will include all contacts with the same name somewhere within this field. The search is not case sensitive. Leaving this field blank will include all Contact Names in the search with no restrictions.

City

Enter the full or partial City Name to include in your search. All postings that match exactly to what you enter here as a City Name will be included. Wild cards are assumed so that partial entries will be used for exact matches. The search is not case sensitive. Leaving this field blank will include all Cities in the search with no restrictions.

State

Select from the options list the correct State Name. The 2 letter code will automatically be inserted into the proper data field for the search. Use the "Any" selection if you want to view multiple States or you want to view all States in your search selection.

Zip Code

Enter the full or partial Zip Code to include in your search. All postings that match exactly to what you enter here as a Zip Code will be included. Wild cards are assumed so that partial entries will be used for exact matches. Leaving this field blank will include all Zip Codes in the search with no restrictions.

Country

Select from the options list the correct Country Name you want to include in your search. The 2 letter code will automatically be inserted into the proper data field for the search. Use the "Any" selection if you want to view multiple Countries or you want to view all Countries in your search selection.

Keyword

This field is the most important to fill out since it provides you with the greatest flexibility in refining and filtering your search selection. The job provider has used keywords and phrases in this field to help you find their posting. Enter here any ONE of these types of words or phrases you want to use to limit your search selection. Be careful not to use more than one word or phrase at a time since the search will assume an exact match to what is entered here. For example, if you want job listings with programming background requirements, use the word "programming" or, better yet, "program". The search is not case sensitive and assumes wild card entries. You may have to experiment with this capability and refine your entries to obtain the desired effects. If you do not want to limit any posting based on this field, it would be best to leave it blank. In doing so your search selection will not restrict any posting based on what the applicant entered here. GOOD LUCK.
