If you click “Job Title” again, it will sort them in reverse alphabetical order. Or, if you click on “Job ID” it will sort them in numeric order. Once you have created a search to match your interests and qualifications, you may save that search criteria for future use by selecting “Save Search”.
- Advanced search options — With this function, you may search by job vacancy number, part-time/full-time status, job family or location by using the provided menus. You may also type in keywords or job title which will search the full posting. It is best to use full words in defining your search criteria.
