Set Up Job Alerts on All Platforms
Step by Step
Step by Step
Set up alerts on LinkedIn, Indeed, Glassdoor, and Handshake Search your target role and location on each platform and enable daily email alerts.
Set up alerts for entry-level variations of your target role Use different search terms across platforms to make sure you are not missing anything. Try "entry level," "junior," "associate," and "graduate" as prefixes.
Create a dedicated email folder for job alerts Set filters so all alert emails go directly to a Job Search folder. Check it every morning.
Refine your alerts after a few days Adjust keywords if you are getting too many irrelevant results or too few relevant ones.
Tips for success
Apply to roles within 48 hours of them being posted. Early applicants consistently have higher response rates.
Set up an alert for your university's alumni job board if it has one. Alumni networks are particularly helpful for recent grads.
