The BASIC Search is now easy to read – in one second – you can see the number of jobs in each city, each each job category and for each agency. This is a WONDERFUL IMPROVEMENT FOR THE BASIC SEARCH. Check out the new search functionality on USAJOBS at http://jobsearch.usajobs.gov/default.aspx. The new basic search now features an easy-to-read list of job search options by Agency, Location and Occupation, with an indicator of how many jobs are available in each category. As you narrow your search criteria, so narrows the list. This provides a much better starting point for job seekers.
A tip for announcement searching: searching key words can really be useful. For example, the job title Emergency Management Specialist is classified to the 301 job series, which is general administrative and management. Searching the 301 series will yield administrative positions and even a food service specialist! Searching key words like “COOP,” “exercises,” or “incident response” will yield a variety of positions in the field, even those with titles like “Program Specialist” that are in the Emergency Management field.
