Understanding Search Results
 
General Search Help
Your search profile is made up of three basic components: Location, Job Title and Minimum Salary. Keyword searches are also available to search the database online, and to help to select the titles for your search, but email job matches are sent based on location,keyword and minimum salary, and not keyword.
We have provided several different mechanisms for searching the database. Our basic search tab allows you to search online based on location,title and keyword. Our advanced search tab also allows you to search using minimum salary
Location
Search locations are grouped according to the federal government's mapping system. Each U.S. state and the major territories are represented as well as overseas locations. U.S. states are broken down into smaller units which may correspond to cities, counties or other regions within a state. For overseas locations, such as "Overseas Atlantic", the group is broken down according to country (such as England, France, Germany, etc.). You can select an entire region or state, or select only individual cities, counties or regions within that region for your search.
Career Fields
At the highest level, Federal Job Search listings are organized by career field, such as 'Accounting, Budget and Finance'. Each career field is made up of multiple federal job titles (or series). For example the Accounting career field is made up of 25 job titles, such as 'Budget Analyst', 'Financial Administrator',etc. You can select an entire career field or choose individual job titles only for your search. When you first create your profile you are given the opportunity to select the titles which interest you. Once your profile is created, you can modify your job titles at any time from the 'My Job Titles' tab on the basic or advanced search tab. You can also reach this from your main menu ('my menu'), by clicking on the 'my search' tab.
Minimum Salary
You can select a minimum salary for your search profile to help to filter out positions which do not interest you. A small fraction of federal positions in our database do not have a reported salary, so those positions are not filtered out by salary and would be included in any search which matches your locations and job titles, regardless of your minimum salary.
