The last thing we want to do is send job alert emails that aren\u2019t relevant to you. If you\u2019ve noticed that you\u2019re getting job alerts that don\u2019t seem as useful as you&#8217;d like, or want to set up more advanced email alerts, this guide is here to help.<\/p>\n<p>You might well have already checked the <a href=\"\/jobseeker\/faq\/alerts\">email alert FAQ<\/a>, which covers the basics of job alerts, but here we\u2019ll look at how to set up multiple alerts while making sure they\u2019re as tailored to your job search as possible. Use this, along with our <a href=\"\/explore\/the-ultimate-jobseeker-guide\/\">Ultimate Jobseeker Guide<\/a>, and your job search will be optimised and as hassle free as possible.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"h4 font-weight-bold\">Job Alerts Layout<\/h2>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Let\u2019s start by logging in to your JobLookup account. On the left-hand side of the screen, click on the second button down in the account area, labelled <i>Job Alerts.<\/i> You\u2019ll be taken to this screen:<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-center\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-995\" src=\"\/explore\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Screenshot_2019-12-11-Job-Alerts-JobLookup-1024x516.png\" alt=\"JobLookup's job alert email settings\" width=\"1024\" height=\"516\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019ve probably got at least one alert set up so far. Click on <i>improve<\/i>, and you\u2019ll see a screen like this:<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-center\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-424 img-fluid img-thumbnail\" src=\"\/explore\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/photo_2019-08-12_19-14-13-1024x451.jpg\" alt=\"The 'edit job alert' screen that jobseekers can access in their account area\" width=\"1024\" height=\"451\" srcset=\"https:\/\/joblookup.com\/explore\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/photo_2019-08-12_19-14-13-1024x451.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/joblookup.com\/explore\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/photo_2019-08-12_19-14-13-300x132.jpg 300w, https:\/\/joblookup.com\/explore\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/photo_2019-08-12_19-14-13-768x338.jpg 768w, https:\/\/joblookup.com\/explore\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/photo_2019-08-12_19-14-13.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re looking for administration jobs, then this is what you\u2019ve probably put into the keyword box here. Check to make sure you\u2019ve also specified a location, as this is a common cause of irrelevant alerts &#8211; if you haven\u2019t put a location here, you\u2019ll get emailed alerts about all administration jobs in the UK.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"h4 font-weight-bold\">Additional Location Information<\/h2>\n<hr \/>\n<p>To make sure you get more focused results, you can adjust the maximum distance you want the alerts to search for jobs for you. A smaller distance or exact location setting will generally mean you\u2019ll receive fewer jobs per alert, but they\u2019ll be much more relevant.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"h4 font-weight-bold\">Salary Range<\/h2>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Using this slider can affect the alerts receive as well. Make sure you\u2019ve got this set where you want it (you simply have to drag the bar with your mouse to adjust salary range), and you\u2019ll get more specific alerts.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"h4 font-weight-bold\">Setting Up Multiple Alerts<\/h2>\n<hr \/>\n<p>If you\u2019re searching for more than one kind of job title, or are looking for opportunities across a few different sectors, then you can set up an alert for each one individually by clicking on the <em>Create New Alert<\/em> button.<br \/>\n<\/em><br \/>\nThis way you can set as many alerts as you like quickly in different roles.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"h4 font-weight-bold\">Setting Up Alerts with Multiple Keywords<\/h2>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Some job titles can be quite long &#8211; if you\u2019re looking for Sales Operations Manager roles, for example, then <i>sales<\/i> alone in the keywords isn\u2019t going to get the results you want. You can set up alerts for long titles like this easily, however. Simply add all the keywords you want your alert to search for <b><i>without<\/i><\/b> any commas, eg: Sales Operations Manager, and click <em>save<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"h4 font-weight-bold\">Setting Up Alerts with Exact Keywords<\/h2>\n<hr \/>\n<p>To locate roles using their exact job titles and nothing else, you can use quotation marks when setting up your alert. If you put \u2018<i>Finance Administrator<\/i>\u2019 in quotation marks, then your alerts will only feature jobs that have <i>finance<\/i> and <i>administrato<\/i>r next to each other. This helps to fine-tune your job search by specific job title.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"h4 font-weight-bold\">Setting up Alerts to Exclude Keywords<\/h2>\n<hr \/>\n<p>This feature is perfect if you feel like a lot of your notifications aren\u2019t as relevant to your job search as they could be. To make sure your notifications ignore any keywords you don\u2019t want, click on the Exclude option and type keywords that you don\u2019t want, make sure to add a <code>,<\/code> symbol (comma) between them, e.g: sales manager, sales assistant.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>So there you have it &#8211; if you make use of all the features available, our alert system should only deliver the most applicable jobs to you, at the frequency you choose.
