Search agent FAQ

Q. How many searches can I save?
A. As many as you want, all at no cost to you.

Q. Do I need to enter a ZIP code?
A. No, entering a ZIP code is an optional way to narrow your search to a specific region. Coupled with a radius in miles, ZIP-code searches make finding a job within commuting distance a snap. For example, if you are looking for a job in the New York metropolitan area, you may be interested in jobs in parts of Connecticut and New Jersey, but not upstate New York. A zip-code search will make it easier for you find what you want.

Q. How do I make changes to a search agent?
A. Once a search agent is created, you cannot modify it. Simply cancel your old agent by following the link in the body of each e-mail, and start a new your job search on either our simple or advanced search pages.

Q. What's the difference between the simple and advanced searches?
A. The advanced search page lets you quickly home in on specific types of jobs. For instance, one could search on the word "international" and limit the results to show only jobs classified under "Grant administration" and only in the Northeast. Once you find the right criteria, save it so you'll get only the jobs you that interest you.

Q. I used to get jobs organized by state in your e-mail notices. Now they come organized by relevance. Why?
A. Now that it's possible to save much more individualized searches (e.g. "major donor relations" jobs within 120 miles of 20037) sorting your results by relevance gives you better search results than you would get if the mailings were organized by state. You can still get a state lists by doing a search by location on our Web site.


Q. Why haven't I received any job alerts yet?
A. We send you e-mails only when new jobs listings match your search criteria. If you still think you are missing messages, please check that an overzealous spam filter isn't at work. To tune your filters, please note that we send these e-mails from this address: Job_Alert_Do_Not_Reply@philanthropy.com

Q. I'm not supposed to reply to these e-mails?
A. That particular address goes to a computer program, not a person. However, we always want to hear from you! You may e-mail us at careers@philanthropy.com
