Job hunting can be a really time consuming endeavour, hence, it’s only right that a job seeker set up certain systems to make the process easier. One of such processes is to create job alerts on LinkedIn, a leading platform of companies, professionals, and job seekers.
When you do this on LinkedIn, you are notified anytime there’s a job that matches your skills. These alerts will come in the notification tab. You can create alerts for companies you’re interested in so you know when they’re hiring.
In this post, we’ll show you how to create a job alert on LinkedIn using both the web and mobile.
