Blog Post: Tips for Receiving Jobs-by-Email from Jobing.com

If you haven’t found that perfect job yet - consider using a Jobs-by-Email Agent. A Jobs-by-Email Agent is a feature that delivers you jobs that match your search requirements either daily or weekly.

For instance you could set up an agent for “Healthcare/Medical” (Job Category) and the keyword “Nurse” and receive regular emails on the results of that search. To set up a Jobs-by-Email agent:

1. Log in to your My Jobing! account

2. Click on the Jobs-by-Email tab

3. Click on the “Add a Jobs-by-Email Agent” button.

Here are some handy tips on how to get the most out of your Jobs-by-Email agent:

1.  Limit the number of keywords you use per search.  Long strings of words will not provide very target results.  Using a title, particular skill, or a company name are all good examples of a focused keyword search.

2.  Create up to 10 Jobs-by-Email agents!  Each agent will come to you in one daily or weekly email, separated by the title you have given to differentiate your search.  

3.  Focus your search further by entering a job category.  For example you would like a position in a retail environment, select retail as your job category.  Choose as many categories as you are interested in - and as few as you would like to keep your search focused.

4. Choose an employment type for your search.  Full-time, part-time, seasonal or temporary – we know that scheduling can be a critical factor in determining the right job for you.  Be sure to check off which type of employment you are looking for a more efficient search.  

5.  Choose your location.  In some cases, you will be able to further limit your search by area.  If the cross-town commute isn’t what you are looking for, be sure to select the location nearest you.  

6.  If you have set salary expectations or if salary is negotiable, indicate that as well.  Keep in mind that checking the box to “show jobs with negotiable/unspecified rates” will produce the highest number of results.

You can update your agents as your needs change.  If you find that you are not receiving enough job postings, or if they don’t quite meet your needs – feel free to update or create additional agents at any time.  Log in and create your Jobs-by-Email agent today!
