    Step 1. Type words into the box marked 'What' that describe the kind of job you are looking for, such as a job title, skill or employer name.

    Step 2. Type into the box marked "Where" the city, the State or the zip code where you want to find a job.

    Step 3. Click the 'Find Jobs' button or hit Enter on your keyboard. Jobs will be returned that match your keywords within 25 miles of the location you specify. If you enter two or more keywords, it will return only those jobs that contain ALL your words (you don't have to include 'and' between the words).
