  2. Use the Search bar at the top of the page to enter keywords, job titles, skills, or company names that match your interests.
  3. LinkedIn may suggest job roles based on your qualifications and experience. Ensure your profile is updated with your latest experience, education, and skills to get the most relevant suggestions.
  4. After searching, you'll be directed to a page with a list of job postings. Use the filter options at the top of the search results page to narrow down the results according to factors like location, company, experience level, and more.
  5. If you find a job that interests you, click on the posting to view the job description. You can then apply using either the Easy Apply feature, which allows you to apply directly on LinkedIn, or the Apply button, which may redirect you to the company's or a third-party website.
  6. To stay updated on new job postings, turn on the Set Alert toggle after applying filters to receive job alerts.
  7. For jobs you're interested in but not ready to apply for, click the Save button on the job details page to save the job for later.
