Through our partnership with the NACElink Network, the NACElink Expanded Job Search allows students and alumni to search for Experienced Full Time Jobs, Entry Level Full Time Jobs and Internships.  This gives students and alumni access to thousands of jobs beyond those posted on Purchase JobScore.

For the Keyword search, you can use AND to search for two words and OR to search for either word.  Examples:  Marketing and Intern;  Television or Film.

The Location distance will reset itself when you search.  Be sure to set it to how many miles from the location you want to search

Use the Advanced Search / More Filters to search.

Do not search on too many variables.  It is best to search on Position Type(s), Job Function(s) and/or Keyword(s) and State(s). 

It is recommended to search on multiple Job Functions.  For multiple selections hold down the control key (command on Mac) and select your choices.

Searching on multiple Position Types can also be helpful.  For example, if searching for a summer job in Graphic Design, the Positions Types to search on would be:  Part Time, Internship, Summer Job, Freelance and Project.

Once you have searched for a job, you can view the job posting by selecting the job title.

On the right hand side of each posting there will be directions on How To Apply.

You will apply as per the posting:  Email, Mail through their website, etc.

If you see this message: - You do not have any resumes available to submit. Please upload your resume and try again - it means you need to upload your resume under “documents” on the top tool bar.  (see below)
