How do I conduct a job search?

Simply visit our job search page  at JobsLasVegas.net and complete the job search interface with your search criteria. Our job search includes jobs from JobsLasVegas' network of partner sites. With your own personal ID, it allows you to save your job searches, post your resume, and get job search updates via e-mail.

My search results were empty or didn't match my keywords. Why?

It may seem confusing, but every job returned by your search does, in fact, match your entered search criteria. Remember, the more criteria you provide, the closer you come to matching the information you want. If the results aren't what you intended to find, there may be several reasons why: You didn't enclose your keyword(s) in double quotes, and the search mechanism located words related to your keyword(s) but not the exact keyword itself. The employer who posted the job chose to display a shortened version of the job's description, and the missing keyword can only be found in the portion of the job description not displayed. The job description contains your keyword(s), but not in the context you were expecting. For example, you may enter the keyword phrase "graphic artist" and recieve a job posting for a Marketing professional that contains the phrase "You will work with our graphic artists..." If this is the case, make sure you have selected a job description as part of your search criteria.

How do I apply for jobs found on this site?

First, you must be a member of our community of job seekers.  Second, be sure you are viewing the web page description of the job you wish to apply for. To submit a resume you may do one of the following: Complete the form provided on the web page, remembering to paste your resume into the appropriate box. Remember to click the "Submit your resume" button. Send an e-mail (an e-mail link is provided with many job postings) with the resume attached or in the body of the e-mail. Resumes must be in a standard word-processing format, such as Microsoft Word (.doc), WordPerfect (.wpd), ASCII text (.txt) or HTML (.htm or .html). If you are logged into your JobsLasVegas account, you can submit a saved resume by clicking the "Apply Now" button above the job description. Then, select the resume you would like to submit to the employer, make any final revisions, and click the submit button.

How do I verify that my resume was successfully transmitted?

When you apply for positions from this site, you are actually sending the resume directly to the company posting the job; we do not hold resumes for employers. Because of this, the decision to acknowledge your submission rests solely with the company you submitted your resume to. Most companies will acknowledge receipt of your resume with an automatic e-mail minutes after your resume is recieved. However, it is possible that you won't recieve any confirmation at all.

What if my desired job location is not listed in the location field of the job search?
