Hints & Tips

			Searching Our Site The 2 quick search boxes are for keywords such as job title or location. Use keywords to search for relevant jobs. Use commas to separate words if you wish to search for jobs that contain more than one keyword. Jobs that contain all your keywords are considered more relevant and will appear higher in the search results.

			Improving your search results Increasing your search criteria by selecting a practice area or vacancy type will focus your job search, producing fewer results that match your requirements more closely.

			Expanding your search If you don’t get enough results, remove some of your search criteria. If you get too many results, you can choose to specify more criteria.

			Searching by Location If you’re looking for jobs in a specific location, you can specify a region, town or even a postcode. You can choose a large region such as a county or narrow your search by selecting a town. You can modify the radius of your search on the homepage by selecting how many you live from the specified location.
