What are the steps to setting up a Personal Search Agent?

Answer

Basically, a Personal Search Agent is exactly like a Job Search except your search criteria is saved online. Follow these steps to create a Personal Search Agent which will keep you informed of new jobs targeted to you:

1. Go to the search agent page (http://www.hirediversity.com/jobseekers/PSAList.asp)
   
2. Click on the New Personal Search Agent link on the top of the page. You will be taken to what looks exactly like the Job Search form.
   
3. Fill out the form like you are doing a normal Job Search. Be sure to read any of the Help files located within the form to help you complete it (they appear in red).
   
4. At the top of the form, be sure the checkbox next to "Email me top 25 new jobs" is checked on. Enter the number of days in the textbox next to it to how often you wish to receive e-mails about jobs found by the agent.
   
5. Once finished filling out the form, press the Save button at the bottom of the page.
   
6. You will be taken back to the list of your search agents. To test the agent, you can press the Show button. Make sure that no error message appears - this will ensure that you agent will run properly when e-mailing you.
   
7. If you need to edit or delete your agents, you can do so by clicking the corresponding Edit or Delete link of that search agent.
