3. Find the perfect vacancy<\/h2>\n

\"filters\"Searching for vacancies is the meat of the job hunt.<\/p>\n

We bring together thousands vacancies from every major job board, which means we list nearly every job ad in South Africa. Being able to search everything in one place is a huge leap forward for users.<\/p>\n

But it can also make for a daunting search experience, as there may be hundreds or even thousands of results for a common search like\u00a0\u201cMarketing jobs in Cape Town<\/a>\u201d.\u00a0Our top tips on search are all around narrowing that search experience.<\/p>\n

Choose your what and where carefully to specify the job title and location you are interested in.<\/p>\n

Use the filters on the left to narrow by salary band or location.<\/p>\n

Use your search history which we store further down on the left hand side of the page to quickly navigate back to your recent searches.<\/p>\n

And don\u2019t forget to use our awesome advanced search tool<\/a> to really refine your search.<\/p>\n

4.\u00a0Be the first to know<\/h2>\n

Once you\u2019ve found the right search criteria for you, you\u2019ll want to keep track of new jobs coming up that match. \u00a0The best way to do this is to sign up for an email alert via the box at the top of every search result. \u00a0Adzuna indexes literally thousands of new opportunities every day, and we send you a simple, handy email listing the most recent jobs that have come up. \u00a0We don\u2019t give anyone else your email address and you can cancel with one click.<\/p>\n

\"alerts\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Active jobseekers find these incredibly useful so they can be the first to respond to new opportunities that come up \u2013 and we also hear that alerts are good for people who are currently employed but interested in something very particular.<\/p>\n

That concludes our top tips, we hope you find them useful. We\u2019re always adding more features, so watch our blog for further updates and send us your feedback and ideas. \u00a0And if you\u2019ve found a great job via Adzuna, please do tell us your story<\/a>!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
