Hi everyone! During my layoff last year, I had a hard time finding jobs through LinkedIn, indeed, and other services. The listings were old and usually had hundreds of applicants. After a few months, I landed on a super simple process that I created in Notion that got me more interviews. Then, I converted it into a simple website.

I hope it's a tool you can use every day to find your next opportunity. Please share this post if it's helpful!

Pro tip: Use commas in the job title to search for multiple jobs like:

qa engineer, engineering manager, data scientist

>Don't want to see remote jobs? Just add -remote to the job title: product manager -remote

Could I then search for locations like other keywords?

Yes, that's correct. Let's say you only want to see product manager jobs in texas that aren't remote. In the job title, you'd put:

product manager texas -remote

If you only wanted to see product manager jobs that mention egypt, you could use:

product manager egypt

Right now, it's coded specifically to handle most countries and the individual united states.

Is it possible to add the number of results next to the result links?

Where I live, most of the search results are empty :/

The site doesn't scrape the web or store anything in the database. So, there's no way for it to know the number of results.

To maximize your results, choose All from the time drop down. You may need to experiment with the job title field to find exactly what you're looking for.
