Instructions
For in depth instructions, use the "Help" menu on CareerSearch (top right corner) or click on "Helpful Documents" after logging in and download "How to Use CareerSearch."
- Select search type - use "Search" to enter detailed search criteria.
- You will be given three search criteria: Industries, Locations and Keywords. As you move through each of these menus, you will have the opportunity to restrict your search based on which items you choose.
- Click "Industries." Now decide if you want to search by industry type, SIC, NAICS (industry classification codes), Products/Services or Industry Size. Then, select whatever search criteria you choose.
- For example, if you click on "Industry", you may choose to limit your search to Advertising/PR firms, Consultants, and Publications.
- Move onto the next search criteria: "Locations." Decide if you want to limit your search by state, region, metro area, etc. Choose criteria the same way you did for the Industry section.
- Move onto "Keywords" and enter any specific keywords to help you find a specific type of company or only listings with URLs, for example.
- Keep in mind that the less criteria you select in your search, the more results you will have.
- After you have entered all of your search criteria, click on "Search Summary." You will now see a summary of all of the search criteria you chose and how many results were generated - if it's a very large number, you can go back and edit your search, adding additional criteria in any of the categories.
- To see the list of results, click on "Review Results." A list will be generated which you may sort by company name, location, etc... Click on the name of each company and a window will pop up with address, URL, email address, a brief description and contact information.
