Key Words

Keywords are the nouns and noun phrases that describe opportunities you would like to see. Entering keywords will provide search results that are jobs opportunities containing those words in their description or title. They help you refine your search in such a way that the job listings in the results closely match the type of position you are looking for. Make sure you include the words that are appropriate for you and your target job. The more keywords you use, the more closely the opportunity will match.

Example: Certain criteria act as keywords and help you narrow your search like- your educational qualification (MCA, MBA, M.Sc etc) the title of the job that you want (Technical lead, Software developer, Trainee etc) techniques that you are qualified to use (Domain testing, Animation and special effects, Tissue culture etc) software and hardware that is unique to your job, industry or profession (Java, SAP, Analog circuit design etc) your field of expertise (Administration, Finance, Quality control etc) etc.

It is very important to incorporate such keywords in your resume before posting it on the site as the employers will be using the same keywords to search online resumes.

Job Locations

You can limit your search to a certain geographic location. Enter the specific location (city, state and/or country) where you want to work to get a list of jobs in that particular location.

Example: Sharjah, Dubai, Abu Dhabi. If you are nonspecific about the location, then choose Any location.

Experience

Relevant experience is one of the key factors that the employers consider while searching online resume. Relevant experience is previous experience that is relevant for the job for which you are applying.

Example: you have a total experience of 10 years of which your experience in IT accounts for only 5 years and you are currently looking for a job in the IT industry, then you are supposed to enter 5 in the corresponding field but not 10.

It is important to note that the experience should be entered in numerical form (1,2,3 etc) but not in decimal form (1.5, 2.5, 3.5 etc).
