4. PatriotJobWeb does the searching for you!
Do you know that PJW currently has 371 full-time positions and 433
internships active in the system? Follow the directions below to learn how
to use Search Agents to automatically find positions that are just right
for you. You can also print out a PJW Quick Reference Guide.
a. Click on Jobs in the header row. Use a keyword search by itself and
then narrow down the results based on the qualities of the job that
interest you. For more refined search options, use Advanced Search.
b. After you have found search criteria that find jobs or internships of
interest to you, you can save the criteria you used as a Search Agent. To
do so, go back to Advanced Search, check the box next to Save As and give
the search a name. Click Submit.
c. Schedule your Saved Search to run automatically by selecting the Search
Agent tab and clicking the Schedule button next to your search agent. Mark
the Yes option to enable your agent to run on a regular basis. You can
click on the Search Agents tab and run your saved search anytime without
having to specify the criteria again.
These automatic searches find and email you new results that match your
criteria. The email will list basic data on the positions and tell you to
go to PJW to rerun the search agent. After rerunning it, you can review
the details of each position and apply as instructed.
