Job search tips
General tips
Quickly search across all sectors by using keywords that may appear in your job title or function and by specifying a location to narrow down your search.
www.careerint.com contains vacancies in a number of different formats directly from leading employers.
You can use a simple or Advanced search from any job search screen.
We suggest you register as a jobseeker in order to get the most out of your job search. This will allow you to save a number of different searches and receive these as emailed Job alerts.
Example:
if you were looking for a senior accounting role and wished to search for a job as a Chief Accountant and or Financial Controller, both these search terms could be inserted as Saved searches in your account. You may also request to receive matching results as emailed Job alerts.

Search by location
If you are looking for a job in a specific location or area, you can enter a location by town name, county or district (although these will depend on the location description of the role in each employers vacancy details).
We suggest you register as a jobseeker in order to get the most out of your job search. This will allow you to save a number of different searches and receive these as emailed Job alerts.
This would be useful for example if you were looking for a role close to you home in Croydon, Surrey but wished to search for jobs in London and neighbouring areas. Therefore you could insert the locations Croydon, Surrey, London and Kent as Saved searches in your account and receive these as emailed Job alerts.

Advanced search
The advanced job search allows you to use a number of different qualifiers within your search terms to narrow down your job search results. You can select job title, keywords and location including AND, OR, NOT or a combination of these, in order to narrow down your search.
JOB TITLE - allows to search by exact job title as it appears on vacancy descriptions, however inverted commas must always be used to 'nest' this query, eg. "Financial Controller"
AND - will allow you to qualify that both search words are on a vacancy description eg. accountant and accountancy.
OR - allows you to search for either search words on vacancy descriptions, however brackets must always be used to 'nest' this query, eg. (London or Surrey).
NOT - can be used only after an AND in content queries and can be used to exclude pages that match a previous content restriction eg. (accountancy and not audit) and London.
NEAR - is similar to the AND as it returns a match if both words being searched for are in the same page however assigns a rank depending on on the proximity of the search words. The rank of a page with the searched-for words closer together is greater than or equal to the rank of a page where the words are farther apart. If the searched-for words are more than 50 words apart, they are not considered near enough.
Brackets ( ) nests expressions within a search query. The expressions in parentheses are evaluated before the rest of the query and are particularly useful where the keyphrase contains AND/OR, e.g. accountant and (London or Surrey).
We recommend you register and use the Saved searches feature. This will let you save unlimited, varied searches and receive these by email should you wish.

How to 'Apply Online'?
Some employers prefer to receive applications via their predefined application process to ensure that the correct recruiter contact sees your CV.
We want you to have the best chance when applying for a role so www.careerint.com is one of very few job portals to support this functionality. Because of this registered jobseekers will not be able to include employers which have an online application form within their application for multiple vacancies.
Employers which use this application method will usually provide guidance notes as to their process, generally viewable on the same screen.
