How To Do “Quick And Easy” Job Searches on T-Net In addition to all of the new advanced job search and keyword search options described below, T-Net has now implemented a number of typical “quick and easy” job searches that you can undertake with one or two simple mouse clicks. Some of the most common of these are listed below: (1) Please Show Me All Jobs on T-Net In Date Order In order to see all job search results, in date order (with the newest job listings at the top), simply click on the brown “Search” button on the bottom of the Job Search, or Advanced Job Search pages. (2) Show Me Jobs Only Within My “Job Category” Many companies organize themselves into common “functional” job categories or “departments”. For example, Human Resources, Sales, Marketing, Engineering, IT etc. T-Net has now organized its search engine in order to be able to quickly return job search results only within specific “job categories” that will be most relevant to your needs. You can now quickly do a job search on T-Net by any of the following categories: Student and Entry Level Secretarial and Administration Engineering/Software/IT/Technical/Scientific Positions Finance and Accounting Human Resources Marketing and Communications Sales & Business Development Junior to Mid Level Management C-Level, VP and Senior Executive (Senior Management and Executive Positions) Other Job Categories To return job search results in only one of the above categories, simply click on the category most relevant to your needs, and then click the “Search” Button at the bottom of the page. (3) Job Search By Company Name There are 3 ways to return job search results from selected companies only. These include: (a) a Keyword Search by Company Name, (b) selecting the company you want in the “Company Index”, or (c) clicking on the companies logo on the front page of the Tech Careers section of T-Net. (4) Advanced Job Searches T-Net’s new Advanced Job Search Page also allows you to do more sophisticated job searches by Job Sector, Job Titles (in alphabetical order), and Job Regions (distinct areas or regions of British Columbia such as Northern BC, the Okanagan, Lower Mainland or Vancouver Island), in addition to all of the other options already described above. You may also select multiple search criteria in one or more categories (for example, select two job categories and three job regions together), in order to further define your search. (5) T-Net "Keyword" Searches T-Net's new keyword search options allow you to do very sophisticated job searches on T-Net in order to find only the jobs or career opportunities you are most interested in. These keyword search options can be used in conjunction with all of the other search options listed above (for example, in conjunction with a job category search, job sector search, job region search, company name search, date search, or any combination of the above). The most important factor in using T-Net’s new Keyword Search functionality, is to determine whether you want your keyword search applied to the: (a) Job Title Only, (b) Job Description Only, (c) Job Title and Job Description, (d) Company Name field, or (e) the City field. Obviously, the selection of this parameter will play a great role in what kind of job search results will be returned, and what kind of searches can be utilized. A keyword search by City is a great way for finding jobs in only one or two particular cities outside the Lower Mainland (for example Victoria or Kelowna), if a search by “Job Region” returns too many results for you. A keyword search by Job Title Only is likely to return very targeted job search results (for example, Project Manager positions only). A keyword search of the Job Description Only allows you to find jobs looking for very particular expertise from words contained within the entire job description (for example C++), and is likely to return more search results. IMPORTANT: Please note that you must choose which "type" of keyword search you wish to utilize by clicking on your preferred option in the list of “Search Options” (at the top of the Job Search Page or Advanced Job Search page). T-Net’s job search engine will default on a keyword search by Job Title Only, if another selection is not made directly by you. T-Net’s new keyword search utilizes a sophisticated “Boolean” search engine that highlights (in yellow) the keywords found in each job listing in your search results so that you can see at a glance why a particular job listing was returned. Types of Keyword Searches: (“Search For ANY Word” vs. “Search For All Words”) The second most important factor in utilizing keyword searches on T-Net is to determine whether to (a) “Search For ANY Word”, or (b) “Search For ALL Words”. A keyword “Search For ANY Word” will return job search results with ANY of the words you selected. For example, if you selected a job search for the keywords “software” and “Engineer”, it will return job searches containing EITHER of the words software or engineer in them. A keyword search with “Search For All Words” will return only job search results with BOTH words (“software” and “Engineer”) in them. A keyword search for ALL words is more targeted and returns more limited results. Please note that you must select the type of keyword search by clicking on the radio button beside the option you prefer. T-Net’s search engine defaults on “Search For ANY Word”, if another option is not made directly by you. Summary The best way to explore our new search functionality of course is simply to visit the T-Net website and start trying out all of the various new job search options that are now available to you.
