TikTok reveals brilliant hack for applying to jobs without using LinkedIn: This is how you search – Yahoo Sports

A TikTok user is drawing praise with his trick for finding jobs through some simple Google search methods.

The hack comes courtesy of a TikToker named Tem (@tem.bv). In a now-viral post, he showed how to efficiently search for jobs without using middleman sites like LinkedIn or Indeed.

Tems video was a direct response to another user, named @m3ntallyillvirg0, who specifically asked for help finding jobs beyond the seemingly endless listings on LinkedIn.

Should you buy a home right now? What you need to know about getting a mortgage now that rates are increasing

When I used to look for jobs, this is one thing I did, Tem says in his clip. I would actually target the application website.

The TikToker goes on to show how to customize a Google search for listings on the actual sites that host job applications, such as Greenhouse and Lever.

The tip comes amid a recent flood of career advice on the app. In one video, a former HR worker shared the one question he always asks at the end of a job interview. In another, a TikToker revealed a major manager red flag, which could be a sign of a boss who isnt looking out for their employees.

As Tem shows in hiss clip, you can search for listings on a specific site by going to Google and typing, site:(website name). You can check multiple sites at once by adding a straight line (|) symbol between searches.

Tem then adds the job titles hes looking for. To do that, place the words you want to search in parenthesis, separated by a straight line. Tems example looks like this: (engineer | developer).

Watch this bland Brooklyn bedroom become a mid-century modern escape in just one day:

That way, Tem will get only job listings with those exact words in the post. And again, his searches will take him only to the sites that host the job listings themselves.

Lastly, Tem adds and removes keywords to his search. He places the words he wants to include in quotation marks and places the words he wants to exclude between two dashes.

Story continues

TikTokers were mystified by Tems search skills. Many called the hack brilliant.

This is how you search, one user wrote.

Oh great, so Ive been using google like a toddler for my whole life, another added.

Tell me why I need a degree in job searching just to apply for jobs, another joked.
