Can I search for jobs using job menus?

The easiest way of searching for a job is to type what you are looking for and where in the relevant boxes.

However, you can also choose from menus of job categories.  To do this, select 'Job categories'.  You will be presented with a number of different categories and the most popular types of job within each category.  You will also see a link which will present you with all of the other types of job within the category.

For example, under the 'Office' category, you will see the jobs 'administrative assistant', 'call centres', 'data inputter', 'receptionist' and 'secretary'.  You will also see a link called 'other office jobs' which will take you to a screen which shows all of the office job types available.  Here you can select up to 3 types of job.

Once you have selected the job (or jobs) that you are interested in, you will then be asked where you are looking to work.  You can enter the name of a town or a postcode.  Alternatively, you can select from a menu of locations which are organised by region.  The first menu shows the main towns and cities in each region. You will also see a link which will present you with a comprehensive list of the locations within the region.

Once you have selected a job type and a location for your search, you will be presented with a 'Job Search Options' page which allows you to specify other job search criteria such as distance, hours, age of vacancy and working pattern.  To find out more about using these search options, see Job search options explained.
