Google for Jobs, an initiative announced by Google at I/O, is getting the power of Google's Search to make it easier for consumers search for jobs more effectively.

With this new experience, Google aim to connect Americans to job opportunities across the U.S., so no matter who you are or what kind of job you're looking for, you can find job postings that match your needs.

Starting today in English on desktop and mobile, when you search for "jobs near me," "teaching jobs," or similar job-seeking queries, you'll see in-depth results that allow you to explore jobs from across the web. For many people, a job needs to satisfy some key criteria, like commute time, job specialties they've honed or the hours they have available to work. For many jobs, you'll also see reviews and ratings of the employer from trusted sites, right alongside the job description, and if you're signed in, for some jobs you'll even see how long it would take to commute to the job from home. Google will continue to add additional filters and information in the future.

In addition, if you step away from your job search, you can pick up right where you left off and stay in the loop on opportunities that interest you. Just turn on alerts for your search to receive an email notification whenever new jobs arrive, keeping you up-to-date and on top of your job hunt.

Google is working with a number of organizations from across the industry to bring you a comprehensive listing of jobs - including LinkedIn, Monster, WayUp, DirectEmployers, CareerBuilder, Glassdoor and Facebook. This means you'll see job postings from these sites and many others from across the web as soon as they're posted.
