Narrowing down your job search results to jobs only in your city (for us, that’s Mountain View, CA), or in the close surrounding cities (San Jose, Santa Clara, San Francisco) is great and all, but depending on how large your city is, that could still mean a lengthy commute! So now it’s time to get to the nitty-gritty of where the jobs you’re interested are really located.
As long as an address is provided, you can map the location of companies you’re interested in during your search. You can compare the distance between all of the jobs you’re thinking about applying to, see exactly which one is closest to your home, find the job nearest to your favorite place to load up on caffeine, and start planning your route to each place when you start interviewing.
So say you’re looking for teaching jobs in your town. To view a particular job on a map, click the More Tools option at the bottom of the job summary preview and click Map This Job. You can do this with as many jobs as you like! Just keep clicking the Map This Job link for each job.
Once you’ve mapped a job, the Map This Job link turns into a View Mapped Jobs link. Click that link and you’ll be taken to your Mapped Jobs page, where you will be able to see the jobs that you have mapped, well, on a map.
Click the blips on the map for information about the job and a link to the job listing. You’ll be working closer to home in no time!
