indeed allows you to search for jobs
from your computer
and from the indeed mobile app either
way
the experience is a little bit
customized for each user and device
and some features will only work if you
have an indeed account
this means that what you see in this
video may not match your screen exactly
but the general process should be the
same
when you open the indeed mobile app or
go to indeed.com
you will see two search boxes enter the
job that you are looking for into the
first
box and the location where you are
looking
into the second box then click
find jobs the search will return a list
of job postings
if you don't see any jobs that interests
you try experimenting with different
search terms
or try using some of the filters to
narrow down the results
you can also click advanced search for
even more options
by default job postings are sorted by
relevance
but you can change this if you want
sorting by date
makes it easier to see new postings
another way to stay on top of new job
postings is to create email alerts
start by finding the email alert box
either on the right side or the bottom
of the page
make sure the correct email address is
entered then click
activate you will now receive an email
whenever a new job is posted that
matches all the search criteria you are
currently searching for
you can view edit and delete your job
alerts by navigating to the profile menu
and choosing email preferences
okay now let's look a little closer at
the job postings themselves
each posting is a little different but
at a minimum you will see the job title
and the name of the company if the job
allows you to apply directly through
indeed
that will also be indicated if a job
posting catches your eye
click to learn more a new window pops up
with more information about the job
and the requirements that they are
looking for in a candidate read through
this carefully to decide if this job
would be a good fit for you
some job postings include additional
information such as pay and benefit
details
but not all do if you're interested in
the job but not ready to apply
you can click the heart icon to save the
job posting
saving jobs is super helpful when you're
on the go but don't wait too long
as many jobs fill quickly or the
application has a deadline
you can view your save jobs by
navigating to the profile menu
and choosing my jobs
when you decide that you're ready to
apply click the apply button
some job postings direct you to another
website to fill out a custom application
while others let you apply directly
through indeed the process might look a
little different for each job
but there will be a few things in common
every application will ask for a resume
if you have an indeed resume you can
choose to apply with that resume
or to upload a custom one
every application will also give you the
chance to add a cover letter
don't miss this opportunity as cover
letters are a good way to show employers
that you are a serious candidate
you can type a cover letter directly
into the application
or you can attach one be sure to
customize your cover letter for every
application that you submit
some indeed applications require you to
fill out a short questionnaire about
your experience
and some may even ask you to take a
skills assessment to prove your
competency
whatever is asked of you always answer
truthfully and to the best of your
ability
once you finish going through all of the
steps you will have a chance to review
your application
one last time before clicking apply
job hunting is hard but hopefully this
video
helps make the process a little less
painful
