Search For Google Jobs
John Battelle writes that if you search in Google for “google careers“, you get a OneBox result that lets you see jobs available at Google. Click the link to view it, but it follows this structure (and the example below actually works):
As John points out, there is no result for Yahoo careers, but I did find one for Microsoft careers. Basically, if you have job listings in Google Base, and especially if those jobs are through Career Builder, they will show up in Google search results.
Now, who thinks it isn’t worth putting stuff in Google Base anymore? Not me.
Google is a strange company. They released this base thing a couple of months ago. Nobody understood its purpose. From that time google could have revealed its strategy. Noooo.. Instead keep everybody in the dark, and slowly roll out the features that finally starts to turn heads, then people start to go - Oh, OOOOOH!
You know what - sure keeps their competition confused on their strategy. And it sure sends out alot of buzz. Imagine - since people started seeing those one-box results, don’t you think a whole lot more people just started doing bulk uploads to google base. Man those google folks - gotta love them, but frustrating too.
