Enter the position (job, employment) title or keywords and click on the “Search” button in order to obtain a list of relevant results, classified by freshness order. It’s that easy!

nicejob.ca searches for employment offers which correspond exactly to the keywords specified in your request. You can alternate with different versions of the terms used, such as “accounting clerk” and “accountant clerk”. nicejob.ca does not distinguish the feminine (and, from, of the) masculine and the plural … singular. For example, by typing “sales director”, your search results will include “sales directors”, “sale directors”.

You can test different expressions, such as “Sales director” and “business development director”, which will not bring up the same results.
 

Keywords are linked by “AND” default operators and the results that will come up will only be those including all the keywords. Therefore, to limit the results of a search, simply enter more keywords. For example, to find a position in customer service, simply enter customer service

in the search zone and click on the “search” button.

In some instance, the use of the operator “OR” is more useful to formulate your request. (it might be more useful to use the…) You can separate two keywords by the “OR” operator. The operator must be in capital letters. For instance, to find positions in customer service or customer support, simply enter “customer service or support”

Please note that the “AND” default operator remains between the word “customer” and the expression “service or support”, which is correspond to the specifications of the request, that is a position either in customer service or support.

Although your keywords might be very appropriate, sometimes a search may bring up too many results.

To that effect, you may want to exclude a term by placing the “-“ (minus sign) right before the word you wish to avoid and preceded by a space. (ex. Analyst –financial)

It is possible to use both operators in the requests submitted to nicejob.ca (see above paragraph). Please note that the “AND” operator remains by default whereas the “OR” operator must be expressed (by OR).

nicejob.ca does not utilize the truncation or jokers characters (such as * or?) That is, nicejob.ca searches for exactly the words specified in the request. Hence, “com” should not be written to look for job positions in communication or commerce. Therefore, word spelling is very important.

nicejob.ca does not distinguish capital letters from small letters and ignores characters such as “-“ or “/” put between two words. You may enter “sale”, “Sale” or “SALE”.

 

nicejob.ca also allows searching with expressions in quotation marks. The returned pages will necessarily include the said expression such as (for example, “electrical engineer”, where these two words must appear consecutively in that order).

The search from expressions in quotation marks allows to search exactly what is in quotation marks.
For example:

will not include results such as "engineer of electrical systems"

Some characters are not taken into conObjInit.Sideration by nicejob.ca: hyphen (or dash or minus sign), slash, equal sign and apostrophe.
