How to Further Refine Your Job Search

When you explore a specific type of job opportunity (in this example we will use job search for Nurses, but this same technique works for all other types of jobs), you can refine your search by one of three ways: (6) by job closeout date, agency, job title, or minimum salary, (7) by a specific federal organization, or you can narrow your search (8) by a specific location, keywords, and other advanced search filters. (See figure below.) Other advanced search filters include: armed forces preferences, students and recent graduates, applicants with disabilities, native American preferences, federal department / agency, or by federal job series.
