Setting Up Job Alerts
Last updated: March 2026
Job alerts automatically notify you when new positions matching your criteria are posted. Instead of checking the job board daily, you receive an email the moment a relevant listing goes live. This guide shows you how to create, edit, and manage your alerts.
Go to Job Alerts in your dashboard
Sign in and navigate to your Job Seeker Dashboard. Click "Job Alerts" in the left-hand menu or under the "Settings" section.
Create a new alert
Click "Create Alert." You will be prompted to configure the criteria for your alert.
Set your search criteria
Configure any combination of keywords (e.g., "sports medicine"), job category, employment type (full-time, part-time, per diem), location (city, state, or remote), and salary range. The more specific your criteria, the more targeted your alerts will be.
Choose your notification frequency
Select how often you want to receive alerts: immediately (as soon as a matching job is posted), daily digest (once per day), or weekly digest. Immediate alerts are best if you are actively searching.
Save and verify your alert
Click "Save Alert." You will receive a confirmation email. Check your spam folder if you do not see it within a few minutes.
Manage existing alerts
Return to the Job Alerts page to edit, pause, or delete any existing alert. Pausing is useful when you are taking a break from your job search but want to resume alerts later without reconfiguring them.
Pro Tip
Create two or three alerts with slightly different keywords to capture more postings. For example, one alert for "athletic trainer" and another for "ATC" ensures you see listings that use either term.
