How to search for jobs on Google
Search for "jobs near me", "teaching jobs", or similar job phrases on Google, and you'll be able to explore jobs all in one place.
You can then filter by location to see jobs in areas that are convenient for you. If you’re signed in, you may even see how long it would take to commute to a job from your home. You can also view salary information, employer reviews, and options to apply for the job.
Keep on top of your job hunt with alerts. You’ll receive email notifications when new jobs that match your search specifications are posted.
Job Search for Veterans
start here
If you’re one of the 250,000 service members who transition out of the military every year, you know one of the toughest parts of the transition to civilian life is a search for a job that takes advantage of the skills you’ve gained while serving.
To help with your transition, you can search 'jobs for veterans' on Google and then enter your military occupational speciality code (MOS, AFSC, NEC) to see relevant civilian jobs that require similar skills to those used in your military role.
You read that correctly. Google has developed algorithms designed to help military job seekers get search results targeted specifically for them.
Type Jobs for Veterans into Google and Press Return
Typing the phrase “jobs for veterans” into Google brings up a new page with a prompt for the user to enter your military occupational specialty code or MOS. Google then compiles search results based on that specific type of query or request based on the code you enter.
