Scrolling through hundreds, even thousands of job listings can be time consuming and exhausting, but if you know how to use the helpful features Indeed offers, you can save time and spare yourself from a headache.

Here are tips and tricks to use Indeed like a Pro:

Create Your Free Account and Upload Your Resume

Go to www.indeed.com and create a free account or download Indeed from the App Store on your phone. You can sign up for an account through either your email, Google, Facebook, or Apple account. Next, you will be given the option to upload your resume or build an Indeed Resume. Including your resume on your Indeed profile is a MUST, so employers looking for your skills and experiences can find you!

Tailor Your Search To You

Indeed makes it simple to begin your job search by asking two basic questions: WHAT and WHERE? This initial search will give you what seems like pages of endless job listings in your area. Instead of scrolling till your fingers are numb, Indeed allows you to filter the search results and customize it to fit your life.

The advanced filters to make your search tailored to you include:

- job type

- distance

- salary

- location

- company

- experience level

Using filters will significantly narrow your job results allowing you to focus on potential jobs that best fit your life.

Get the Scoop on Companies

When you find a job, it’s important to consider the company that is offering it and what they are about. No one wants a job at a place that makes them unhappy, so it’s good to be curious about a potential employer. This feature lets you explore companies, salaries, reviews, and more. The reviews are from real people who have insight from working at a specific company. You can compare average salaries for different jobs, companies, and experience levels that can give you an idea of compensation.

Save Jobs & Set Up Alerts

If you find a job that interests you, tap the ❤︎ and it will be saved to the My Jobs page that can be found in your profile’s drop-down menu. When you do a job search on indeed and have personalized the filters, you can set up alerts. Indeed will notify you when new similar jobs are posted by sending an email. There is no need to be overwhelmed when you can be confident in your job search!
