How do I search for jobs?

We offer two different search options depending on the style of search you prefer:

• Search by Keyword: With search by keyword, you can search for jobs with a keyword, by industry and by a specific location. For best results, we recommend searching for jobs in the nearest metro area.
• Search By Directory: This is a directory style search. You can drill down by state/province and or by industry. Jobs are listed by the most recently posted. We recommend this option if you are using an older browser or have difficulty finding jobs through search by keyword.

I can't find jobs in my area?

Most of our jobs are located in major metro areas within the US and Canada. If you live outside of a metro area, we recommend that you search for jobs in the nearest metro area, or expand the radius of your search to include a metro area.

What is a Non-Traditional Opportunity?

A non-traditional opportunity is a opportunity that falls outside of either a traditional employment or independent sales arrangement.

These may include multi-level marketing programs, business opportunities, or investment options. In part you may be asked to invest time or money into the program.

As always, we recommend that you research each opportunity before providing your personal information. If you find that a particular opportunity is misleading or fraudulent, please contact us below.

How do I apply to a job?

Many jobs provide specific instructions as to how they would like you to apply to that job. If those instructions are provided, we recommend that you follow them otherwise your resume may not be considered.

For other jobs, you can send your resume and cover letter automatically using the site Apply feature. To use this feature, click the Apply button on the job you would like to apply to. Select a cover letter, or provide your own cover letter and click Send.

Do I need to post my resume?

If contact information is provided with the job, you can apply directly without posting your resume into our resume bank.

For all other jobs, you do need to post your resume as it will be sent directly to the employer with the site Apply feature.

Can I track the jobs I have applied to?

If you have applied using the site Apply feature, you can track these jobs on the Your Jobs page.

Can I upload my resume?

Why is the site telling me that I am missing information?

All resume are processed to extract quantifiable information about your skills, education and work experience. This information is used to improve the search experience for employers using SalesJobHunter.

This process is done by software which seeks to extract meaningful data and patterns from your resume. While it is mostly accurate in parsing your resume, inconsistent formatting or use of non-English places and words can sometimes result in information being incorrectly extracted or not all.

We do require a couple of additional pieces of information that is not provided by the resume extraction software such as your objective and which industries you have experience in.

The site says my resume is not complete?

Your resume may be incomplete for two reasons.

1. Certain fields are missing or have incomplete data. To fix this, click edit on the section with issues and fix or add the incorrect fields.
2. If your resume shows no more errors. The final step is selecting a privacy status for your resume, and then clicking Save & Continue.

Can I make my resume private?

Yes, you can set your resume private. Private resumes are only available to employers that you have explicitily applied to.

Is my identity safe?

We value your privacy and take measures to prevent identity theft. All employers are screened before being allowed access to the resume bank. No confidential information is displayed publically in any way.

While we cannot ensure that an employer does not misuse a resume once they have received it. You can make changes to your resume to limit the impact of such a breach of trust:

• Use only initials for your first and or last name.
• Leave the address lines blank.
• Use an email address other than your personal address for job sites.
• Change your phone number to all zeros (000-000-0000). At least a valid phone or email must be provided.
• Ensure names, phone numbers or other contact information is not in work experience or education fields. Although this is filtered automatically, our filters may not identify all forms of a phone number for example.
• Remove personally identifiable information from your resume before posting it.
• We will never send you and email asking for your password or login information. If you do receive such an email, please report it to us.
