You may search for jobs in four different ways.

(1) Job Category – This will return the broadest range of results in a specific category.

(2) Keyword(s) – Keywords are specific words to be searched for within the job posting. The more keywords used, the more closely the job will match your criteria. However, if you enter too many keywords, you may find that you get little, if any, results. Be selective.

Some keywords you might use are:

• Job title (Physical Therapist, Accountant, Product Manager, Engineer)
• Specific experience (drafting, tech support, inside sales, graphic design)
• Skills or certifications (CAD, CDL, bilingual, CPA)

(3) Advanced Search -- The Advanced Search option is as refined as your search can get. For example, you may set your search to find only weekend jobs or contract work. Also, your Advanced Search may be made into an alert.As new jobs become available matching your Advanced Search information, an Alert Email will be sent to the email address you have provided.

(4) Job ID - If you have a Job ID you can go directly to that specific job. For example, this might come in handy if you find a job and want to go back to it later, or if you want to email a friend about a specific job. Please note that jobs do expire, so don’t wait too long before returning to the job.

On the Job Details page, at the top of the screen will be yellow Apply buttons. There will be one or more of the following options: E-mail, Phone, Fax, Apply in person, and/or Apply by mail. Clicking each of the options will open a window with the information for applying to that job.

If the employer has requested that you apply using their website, there will be a link that takes you directly to their site. 
Once you leave the Job News website, we are no longer in control of the application process.  You are dealing directly with the employer.

You have the option of making your resume “Not Public” on the bottom of the “About Your Desired Career” page
when you first create your resume.

You can also make your resume private on the “Manage My Resume” page. Log onto the site,  click on  “Manage My Resume(s)” in the jobseeker links, and uncheck the box under the public column.

When you create your resume, an application such as Microsoft Word will generally give you options on the file format you would like to save your resume in.  If you choose to save your document as a “Word Document”, for example, the name of your resume will look like this: “MyResume.doc”. The “.doc” (or file extension) at the end of the name indicates the file format you have saved your document in. The other file formats are:

.rtf – Stands for “Rich Text File”, and should retain some formatting such as fonts, tabs, and margins.

.txt – This is the most basic type of text file and will retain very little formatting

.html – Stands for: “HyperText Management Language”. An html file can be opened in an internet browser such as “Explorer”.

.pdf  – “Portable Document Format” is is an Adobe Acrobat file that can be read in Adobe Reader.

A few common reasons that you might be getting an error:

• Trying to paste your entire resume into the Objective/Summary on the About Your Desired Career Page.  This is a brief overview of your experience. It should only be a couple of sentences with a maximum of 300 characters.
• Pasting copy from a Word document into the same text box.  Word has unseen code that sometimes will cause an error. You can copy and paste from a plain text document.
• Not completing all of the required fields.

Dynamatch returns results based on the information you have supplied either in your advanced search (alert) or on your resume (agent).  The results will vary from 5 stars (best match) to 1 star.  If you receive results with 3 stars, it means that some of your supplied information matched the position but it was not a perfect match.

For example, if you have worked in the healthcare industry and supplied healthcare as one of your categories, but are actually looking for administrative work in the healthcare industry, you may receive results that are in healthcare but not administrative at all. However, these positions would probably only be ranked with two or three stars. 

There are several steps that you need to go through to complete your resume: 1) About Your Desired Career, 2) Work History, 3) Education, 4)Certifications, 5)Affiliations,  6) References.

The only steps of the process you MUST enter information in are "About Your Desired Career" and "Work History". Any of the other pages that you do not have information for you can click "(skip this step)" or the yellow SKIP button at the bottom of the page.

On the REVIEW page you will be able to name your resume and give it a short description. On the REVIEW page you can also choose to make your resume an agent and/or to make it public.
