Job Search Tips

Job Categories
A primary category should be selected based on the type of job(s) you are most interested in viewing. For example, if you are looking for a job as a HR Manager you should select the 'HR' category. If you are looking for a job as a Credit Controller, you should select the 'Accountancy & Finance' category etc.

Job Search Results
Search results are presented in descending order of relevance to the criteria which has been entered into the system. For example, if you are looking for a Marketing Manager position on a permanent full-time basis in Jamaica, then a job for a permanent full-time Marketing Manager in Jamaica will appear as a 100% match. If there is a job for a permanent full-time Marketing Manager in Barbados then this will also appear but as a lower percentage match because the location does not correspond with the search criterion.
The wider the criteria selection, the greater the number of job results. Similarly, the more, the more specific your criteria, the fewer the results. You can decide which is more suitable for your job search.

Extra 'Key Words'
Inserting a relevant key word(s) can help refine your search greatly. You should insert words or phrases that you would expect to see in the job title or job description.

For example, if you are looking for a job in the area of SAP Consultancy, you will get more specific results if you insert the key words, SAP Consultant, rather than just inserting the word SAP on its own or the word Consultant on its own. If you are looking for a job as a Web Developer, you will get more specific results if you insert the key words, Web Developer, rather than just the word Web or the word Developer on their own.
For more specific results you should tick the box marked "match the exact key word(s)".

The following are just some of the many features in place to help users with disabilities navigate easily:

Bypassing Navigation Bars
To skip over the top and left navigation bar to the main page content follow the link marked 'skip to main content' or 'skip to job search' provided at the start of each page. This will take you to the main page content.

Using the Tab Key to jump between links
You can use the tab key on your keyboard to jump from one link to the next. All navigation bars in the site provide a logical order for this.

Zooming in and font sizes
The main content on each page allows for flexible resizing of fonts to meet user requirements. If you find that font sizes are too small simply increase the default font size used in your web browser software (for example, in Internet Explorer font sizes can be changed in the View Menu under 'Text Size'). This feature may not work correctly in all web browsers.
