The next thing you do is choose a category that best fits the sort of industry in which you want to find a writing job. CareerBuilder has around 80 categories, from Accounting to Word Processing. It includes Journalism/Writing, Publishing, and Technical Writing as part of the category base.

In my search for jobs I have always used Journalism/Writing, Publishing, and Research. Publishing has always yielded the most results. But don't limit yourself! Remember, you can run as many searches as you want in any given session. 

 The next task is to put in keywords to help the database find exactly what you're looking for. 

Keyword Search.

Obviously, the keyword search depends on what sort of job you want. However, it never hurts to draw from a larger pool of jobs! If you enter a string of writing related words you will get generous results. I have found the following to be very productive: 

  Notice that when you put a string in the search box they are separated by a semi-colon, without spaces, and phrases are contained in quotes. Using this simple method you could come up with hundreds of jobs each week. Remember this: 

CareerBuilder uses job sites that include newspaper databases. You can add databases by using the Step 5: Select Sites.

There is also a box for salary range that you can check or no.

Personally, I liked the old Career Path better but used well and this is a valuable resource.
