Stop Wasting Time: The Ultimate Guide to Filtering Job Search Results

The average job seeker spends hours each week scrolling through irrelevant job postings. This is a massive waste of time and energy that could be better spent on networking or preparing for interviews. The solution lies in mastering the art of the filter.

LinkedIn's native filters are powerful but can be clunky. The time filter, in particular, requires multiple clicks to access. This friction discourages users from using it effectively. First, start with the basics: Job Title, Location, and Industry. Be specific but not too narrow.

Next, layer on "Experience Level" and "Company" filters. But the game-changer is the time filter. Manually setting this every time is a chore. This is where you create a baseline search URL on LinkedIn, and then bring it to Vopko. Generate links for "Past Hour," "Past 24 Hours," and "Past Week." Bookmark these generated URLs. Now, with a single click, you have a perfectly filtered, real-time job feed. You've just automated the most tedious part of your job search.
