Here are 4 tips for helping you to search for a job using Universal Jobmatch.
Top tip 1 - get the most from search filters:
Maximise the accuracy of your search by using a combination of job title, skill and location
Use recognised skills
Using the plus sign (+) between words will instruct the system to search for these words together.
This improves the quality of matches, e.g. full+driving+licence
Use the ‘Skills or Keywords’ box to search for a specific job ID with or by qualification type e.g. NV
Try not to over complicate your search
A good search looks like this:
This is not an example of a good search:
Top tip 2- Location, location, location:
You can search using a postcode or location, using a post code will give you the most accurate search for distance
Be specific when entering a location. There may be more than one place with the same name e.g. Newcastle (Upon Tyne or under-Lyme).
You can further refine your results by changing the maximum distance from your search location or postcode (shown on the left hand side in the example below)
Top tip 3 - Drop downs:
Drop down options are pre-set to assist with your search
They can be used in all search boxes including ‘job title’, ‘skills or keywords’ and ‘location’
Suggestions will appear automatically as you type in your search
These are based on popular job roles and using them will help your search to capture the largest number of suitable jobs
Top tip 4 - Save your search
If a search has been successful, you can save it and use it again next time
Click ‘Save this search’ once the results have been displayed
Note: you need to be logged into your Universal Jobmatch account to do this
