The where: Indeed.com

This week we look at Indeed.com

Indeed.com is a popular general job search site.
You can search for job positions in various career fields; some of these positions are remote.

Indeed.com is so popular that Indeed.com has a #1 rating in the Job and Employment category in February 2023, according to SimilarWeb. (https://www.similarweb.com/top-websites/jobs-and-career/jobs-and-employment/)

Indeed.com’s popularity shown in creating Superbowl ads starting in 2021. Indeed.com has the financial power to afford to pay for expensive Superbowl ads.

Remote interest
Type “Remote” in the geography search “Where” box to show interest in remote positions. You may then get a listing of remote job positions.

The job description may not give enough information for you to determine if the remote job position is completely remote or hybrid. Completely remote jobs are where you can work entirely from home; you do not need to go to an employer’s location. Hybrid job positions divide your work time by working from your home and an employer’s place.

Contact the employer directly to see if the job position is completely remote or hybrid if you are unsure after reading the job description.

How to find job positions

Here are two ways that you can find job positions on Indeed.com

  • Keyword search–you can type words related to the job position you are looking for in the “What” search box.
    Ideally, you will then get a listing of job choices from your search.
    Each job choice on the list contains a word or words you typed in the search box.
    You then can select a job choice to get a more detailed job description.

Synonyms–synonyms are different words that describe a similar topic.
Similar Jobs can be called different names. For example, a “trainer” may also be called an “instructor,” “presenter,” or “teacher.” You can use synonyms to increase the range of job positions in the profession you are looking for.

Advanced Job Search Feature–Indeed.com has an Advance Job Search Feature that will give you additional options to search for job positions.
You may find the Advance Job Search Feature helpful in finding a position.
You can find the Advance Job Search Feature by doing a Google search for the terms “Advance search indeed,” or you can type in the following link below:

The Advance Job Search Feature allows you to search for options like:

  • “With all of these words”
