Google Fu

Boolean search is a powerful tool that can be used to find specific information on the internet. It is especially useful for finding sales jobs, as there are often many different job postings that match a given search term.

Here is an example of a boolean search that can be used to find sales jobs:

(site:greenhouse.io | site:lever.co | site:.myworkdayjobs.com) enterprise account manager AND ("$100,000 OR $110,000 OR $120,000") AND "remote" AND “CITY NAME”

This search will return all job postings for enterprise account managers that are listed on Greenhouse.io, Lever.co, or .myworkdayjobs.com that pay between $100,000 and $120,000 and are remote positions in the specified city.

Here is a breakdown of the different parts of the search:

• (site:greenhouse.io | site:lever.co | site:.myworkdayjobs.com): This part of the search tells Google to only return results from companies leveraging those three websites. Workday requires you to set up a profile for each new company at the time of this post, keep this in mind if you’re trying to apply for jobs in between interviews.

• Enterprise account manager: This is the keyword that will be used to search for job titles you want to apply for.

• ("$100,000 OR $110,000 OR $120,000"): This part of the search tells Google to return results for jobs that pay either $100,000, $110,000, or $120,000. Change accordingly.

• “remote”: This part of the search tells Google to only return results for remote positions.

• “City name”: This part of the search tells Google to only return results for jobs in the specified city.

To use this search, simply copy and paste it into a search engine like Google. You can also adjust the search terms to match your specific criteria.

For example, if you are only interested in full-time positions, you can add the keyword "full-time" to the search. Or, if you are only interested in jobs that have been posted in the past week, you can add the keyword "last week" to the search.

Boolean search can be a powerful tool for finding sales jobs. By using the right keywords and operators, you can quickly and easily find the jobs that are right for you.

Here are some additional tips for using boolean search to find sales jobs:

• Use specific keywords: The more specific your keywords are, the more relevant the results will be.

• Use multiple keywords: Using multiple keywords will help you to find more results.

• Use operators: Operators can be used to narrow down your search results.

• Use quotation marks: Quotation marks can be used to search for exact phrases.

• Use the minus sign: The minus sign can be used to exclude results that contain certain keywords.

Show Initiative

For those looking to break into any sales role that requires you to prospect, whether it’s telecom, SaaS tech, materials, professional services, you name it, this is a sure way to make a great impression.

Imagine being asked, “How did you find us?” and being able to show a prospective hiring manager exactly how you did it. Better yet, closing them on offering you a role, “Imagine me using this to find key personas to sell to for your organization?” Boom. Money.
