Every day, Private Equity Jobs Digest
does all of the leg work in order to
help professionals conduct an

down to the niche sites.
All of the data is sorted, ranked, and
categorized to present targeted

financial industry professional. Only
the best leads are presented to
ensure none of your precious time is
wasted on dead ends.
Getting Started: The Homepage
Once you have navigated to
JobSearchDigest.com, you will
be presented with the main
page. Here, three different
industry fields are displayed
with particular positions and
keywords listed beneath.
Choose the keyword or
position under the industry that
matches the opportunities you
are currently interested in.
Don’t worry about choosing
just one, you can come back
later and expand your search.
Job Listing Portal
After you have clicked through to an
industry page, you will be given a quick
background on the industry itself. On
the sidebar to the right, a sample of
available positions is given to match
your needs, along with some reviews of
the services provided.
Scrolling down, you will find a gray box
entitled “Receive Free Job Listings.”

Searching For A Job
To begin a targeting search of job opportunities, use
the search options and filters on the main job finding
webpage:
• You may specify keywords to narrow job choices to certain responsibilities or qualifications.
• A drag-down bar will allow you to select the state, country, or region to limit the results.
• You may choose the date of the job posting to search either the newest entries, or all available positions.
• Narrow down the job search to certain categories by checking off boxes.
• Select the level of education required.
• Choose the expected experience requirement.
• You may fill in as many or as few criteria as you wish,
then press “Search Jobs”
Targeted Job Results
After the search has completed, the page will be loaded only with jobs that meet the
selected criteria. Choose a job by clicking on its title or on “read more.” The job details
page will load with all available information. Each page result will look different
depending on the source of the job posting.
Each result will have a few items in common. Every posting will include a description, job
requirements, job responsibilities, and contact information or a link to submit an
application.
Returning To The Search Page
After reading over a job description, and maybe
even applying, there a few ways to return to the job
search page to continue looking.
1. You may press “back” on your browser window. It
may require a few clicks if you have moved onto
an application page.
2. If the job listing is featured on Job Search Digest,
you may click on the “Back to Search Results” link
on the top of the page.
3. If at any time you need to return to the job
listings, you may also click the “Find Jobs” link on
the top colored toolbar of the webpage.
Other ResourcesAlong the same toolbar at the top of the page, the other
valuable resources for job seekers can be found. Clicking each
link, such as “Find Recruiters” or “Resource Library” will bring you
to those resources. These extras require the premium subscription
level for full access.
Your account information may be found on this bar under “My
Account.” There you'll be able to upgrade your membership and
take advantage of the two guides that are included in a
premium membership. These guides, "Private Equity
Compensation Guide" and "Private Equity Careers Guide" total a
$130 value, but are included free with a premium membership.
To return to the main page to select other industries or job
keywords, click the “Other Industries” link and you will find
yourself on the main page from Slide #3.
Best of Luck on Your Job Hunt!
