Thousands of Careers and Jobs

This page guides you through 5 steps to identify a job title, find active job listings, prepare for a career in that field, and access career-specific web resources - all on one page. It searches across 57,543 specific job titles using semantic matching and connects them to detailed preparation resources for related occupations.

Here is a short helper video.

Step 1: Enter a Keyword: Enter a keyword related to the job you wish to find. For example, if you are looking to establish a career as a Java Programmer, you might like to enter "Java" or "programmer". This will identify all jobs that contain or are semantically related to the words "Java" or "programmer" based on shared skills, knowledge, and work activities. You can enter more than one word for more specific results (e.g., "java programmer").

Step 2: Select a Job: Based on your keyword, you'll see job titles matched using semantic search, which finds titles related to your search term even if they don't contain the exact keyword. Each result shows a percentage indicating how closely it matches based on skills, knowledge, and activities. Results are sorted alphabetically for easy browsing.
There are two ways to use this list:
1) Filter - Type keywords in the filter box to narrow the list of job titles
2) Browse - Scroll through all results to discover jobs you may not have considered. The match percentages help you identify the most relevant options.

Step 3: Find a Job: After selecting a job title, a job search form will appear pre-filled with your selection. Enter your location and choose a job board to find active listings. Search results open in a new tab so you never lose your place on this page.
Tip: You can update the job title in the search box before searching. Very useful for slight variations of the same role.

Step 4: Prepare For a Career: After your Step 2 selection, you'll see broader career categories (occupations) that contain your job title. Clicking one reveals detailed preparation resources for that occupation (see full list below). This is your career anchor. It is the occupational context you are preparing for...

Once you have selected a career in Step 4, you can freely explore the Job Listings section within it. Each job title in that list updates Step 3 so you can search active listings for any related role, without losing your Step 4 career context. This lets you compare job postings across multiple related titles while staying grounded in the same occupational preparation resources. To explore a completely different career direction, simply make a new selection in Step 4.
*NOTE: If no career path is identified for your search term, scroll up and enter a different keyword.
