Whether you are actively or passively searching for internships or jobs, establishing an automated search alert notification can help streamline the process by making you aware of a position that aligns with your career goals upon its immediate opening.
UMGC’s CareerQuest platform takes the guesswork out of knowing when a career opportunity arises without needing to log in to the platform every day. Follow the instructions below to learn how to create a job search notification.
How to Create Job Alerts
1. Log into CareerQuest, click on the Careers tab in the menu bar at the top of your homepage, and then select Jobs: Share job opportunities in the drop-down menu to be brought to the CareerQuest Job and Internship Board.
2. Utilize the job board’s search bar and filter settings to create a notification that is tailored to your target career. You can filter based on job title, industry area, key terms, location, major, experience level, and more.
3. Once you have established your search terms, save it by clicking on the tag/arrow icon on the right-hand side of the filters.
4. Save your search. First, insert a name into the Alert field.
Then, select your notification frequency: daily, weekly, or monthly.
CareerQuest will send notifications to you via email. If you do not see the notification emails in your inbox, please check your junk/spam box.
5. Click Create Alert to save your settings.
