  Job Search

Job Search is used when you want to search our large database of jobs for a job, with the results appearing immediately on your screen, not arriving by e-mail.

You start off with a form consisting of 5 fields on your left and brief instructions on how to search on the right side. The fields contained in the form help the search engine to limit the number of jobs that it returns and also allows your search to be more efficient and accurate. It is because of this that you must try to keep the information entered as accurate as possible.

  1. Firstly click on the first four selection boxes and choose the sector, region, position and salary.
  2. Fill in any keywords in the Free Text box, these words will be used in narrowing down the search for your job. Remember not to enter whole sentences but words like "Deloittes" or "web master" or "mechanic".
  3. Click on "Search" and our job search engine will process your information and produce a list of jobs suiting your needs.
  4. The list provided has three columns, the company name (if provided), the job type and the location of the job. Find a job that looks appealing and click on the company name for details and job description.
  5. The details page contains job description, salary, location, contact information and a brief description of what is expected and required of all applicants.You can use this information to get in touch with the companies offering the jobs.
  6. It is always good to know as much about the company you are applying for as possible. An accurate knowledge of financial information pertaining to the company will assist you in your interview. It is because of this that we have included in our Job Detail page, a "Company Info Search" button that will, when
    clicked, search through previous issues of "Bussiness Day", "Financial Mail", "Business Times" and "Netassets" for any information or articles about the company that you will apply to.
