What's a Keyword Search?
Careerbox.net's Targeted
Keyword Search is one of the most useful search tools in helping you find the job
you’re made for. By refining your search to include only the jobs that contain the
keyword(s) you entered, you can spend more time viewing the right jobs and less
time searching through irrelevant ones

What are search criteria?
This is the information
you select to help narrow down your search to include only those jobs that interest
you. By specifying more or less criteria you can control how wide a net you cast.
The most common tools
to focus your search include:
Industry : select from
a list of industries
Subcategory: select
one or more specialisations within your chosen sector
Location: select from
cities and regions in
Lebanon
Job type: Select from
a range of job types (permanent, contract, etc.)

What is Advanced
Search?
Advanced Search is an
expanded search function that lets you select multiple subcategories and add a keyword
in a bid to find the right job. Here you can limit your search to only include government
jobs, include more than one sector at a time, or specify the type of work you are
after – like part time for example.

How are search results ordered?
Any time you use the
targeted Keyword Search or a specific field, your results will begin with the closest
match. All other searches will be displayed by date. Future sorting options will
be available.
Why haven't I received
a copy of my application?
Usually an email copy
(confirmation) of your application is sent to you every time you apply for a job.
If you haven’t received one, it might be because of your email security settings.
Try checking your Junk Mail folder to see if it’s there.
If this is the case,
it doesn’t mean that the company or recruiter did not receive your application.
It just means your settings may be causing unfamiliar emails to be automatically
diverted from your inbox.
To stop this from happening
in the future, simply add ‘Careerbox.net’ to your ‘Safe List’. This will ensure that all Careerbox.net mail will be delivered to your Inbox. Here’s how:
Outlook 2003:
Click ‘Tools’ > ‘Options’
In the ‘Preferences’
tab, click the ‘Junk E-mail’ button
Select the ‘Safe Senders’
tab, then click the ‘Add’ button
Enter www.Careerbox.net
in the pop up box and click ‘OK’
Click ‘OK’ to close
both settings boxes
Hotmail:
Log into your Hotmail
account
Click ‘Options’ >
‘Junk E-mail Protection’ > ‘Safe List’
Enter Careerbox.net
in the box and click ‘Add’
Yahoo:
Log into your Yahoo
account
Click ‘Mail Options’
> ‘Filters’
Click the ‘Add’ button
Enter Careerbox.net
in the ‘From Header’ field

Click ‘Add Filter’
Click the ‘Add’ button
