Free Job Alerts By Email

Job alerts sign up is free and uses only your email address. We send a confirmation email first, so nobody can sign up an address that is not theirs, and no alert emails go out until you click the link in it. You can also create an alert from any search results page with the Email Me New Jobs button, which saves that exact search as an alert.

The keyword decides which jobs match and the location decides where. A specific title such as medical assistant or forklift operator gives fewer, closer matches than a broad word such as sales.

• Use one job title or skill per alert, and create a second alert for a different title.
• Use a city or ZIP code for jobs you can commute to, or a state for a wider area.
• Run the search first on the search page to check that the results are what you want, then use Email Me New Jobs.

Each job notification email lists up to 10 new jobs that match your alert, each with a link to the original posting. If no new jobs match since the last email, we do not send one.

Every email has a one-click unsubscribe link that stops that alert. We send alerts by email only; there are no job alerts via text message.

Daily alerts suit fast-moving jobs, where new postings fill quickly. Weekly alerts suit a slower search or a narrow field with few new postings.

We do not send instant job alerts. Daily is the most frequent option, and you can switch an alert between daily, weekly and paused at any time.

Local job alerts work best with a ZIP code or a city name rather than a whole state. If you would commute to several towns, create one alert for each town or use the state instead.

For remote jobs, use remote or work from home as the keyword, together with a job title if you have one, and leave the location empty. Read each posting, because some remote jobs are open only to people in certain states.

For Amazon job alerts, enter Amazon as the keyword and add a city, state or ZIP code. The alert emails new Amazon postings that our search finds there, and each one links to the original posting where you apply.

For federal jobs, browse government jobs, which lists current USAJOBS postings. You can also create an alert here with a federal job title or the word government as the keyword.

USAJOBS has its own job alerts too. From your USAJOBS search results you can turn on a job alert, name it and choose a daily, weekly or monthly email; you need a USAJOBS profile to do this.

Every alert email has a one-click unsubscribe link at the bottom. Click it to stop that alert straight away, with no sign-in needed.

To turn off job notifications for a while instead, pause the alert. If you sign in with the same email address, your account's alerts page lets you change the frequency, pause or delete each alert.
