Specify Your Desired Job Type

Overview

When you state your availability up front, recruiters immediately know if your schedule aligns with the role. This avoids wasted interviews for jobs that don’t fit your needs. If you prefer remote, hybrid, or specific shifts, saying so filters out mismatched positions and increases the chance that you’ll be contacted for jobs that truly fit your lifestyle.

You can have multiple desired job type profiles to meet differing job search criteria.

3. In the Desired Work Hours section, check the boxes for the shifts and days you are available for work.

4. To specify a willingness to travel, do so in the Desired Travel section.

Customize your text

1. Enter your text using any of the following methods:

   1. Type it in manually.

   2. To display your text templates that you created, select the Text Templates link :

   3. To enter system-generated text based on the context in which it is being created, select the Insert Sample Text link. Some text entry fields do not have this link (e.g., email messages).

Tips

• Do not limit yourself too much – If you’re flexible, say so — being too restrictive may eliminate you from good opportunities.

• Update Regularly – If your availability changes, adjust your profile so employers always see accurate info.
