Include Craigslist for your job searching; many employers are using the site for low cost job advertising because it is a tight knit and centralized network for jobs, gigs, résumés, etc.
Craigslist
Did you know that the number of job listings in Craigslist is more than 1 million new job listings each month!
Start searching for a job with Craigslist!
Begin with a selection of your location, region; for example, SF bay area:
To use the search feature, simply type in the key word(s) that you are looking for, select the heading or category and then click ” > ” or “search” if you are already in a category.
Example: You type the word “analyst” and use the drop down to select “jobs” area. Click the ” > ” to see the results.
If you want to narrow your search to a particular subregion (north bay, city of san francisco, east bay, etc.), select the subregion from the right side of the home page and then do your search.
If simple keywords don’t find what you are looking for, here are some advanced features to try.
Phrase Search = by use of quotation marks to search for a phrase: Example: “business analyst“
Excluding Terms (filtering)
To specify one or more words you’d like to exclude, use a minus sign to negate them.
business analyst -manufacturing
That will look for postings that contain ‘business” and “analyst’ but not ‘manufacturing’. Note that a search must contain one non-excluded term.
“OR” Searches
By default, every term in your search must match unless it is excluded with the minus sign (see above). You can specify a list of terms that you want to find one or more of (instead of ALL of them) using a “pipe” character ‘|’ like this:
business | analyst
This query looks for postings that contain ‘business’ or ‘analyst’ (or both).
Grouping
Finally, you can group terms together in parenthesis when queries are complicated:
nonprofit (business | analyst) -2009 -2008
That query tries to find all listings that contain ‘nonprofit’ and either ‘business’ or ‘analyst’ (or both) but do not contain 2008 or 2009.
