Can’t find the contract work you’re looking for on AltMass? Here are three simple steps to save you time and worry.
1. Search using keywords and carefully selected phrases.
Vary your search terms to see which ones yield the best results.
Here are a few tips:
- Check your spelling and fill in the blanks between words.
- Add an “s” to the end of a keyword to search for multiple forms.
- Leave it out if you don’t expect the characters to appear in the results.
- Choose different terms to describe your research or use less descriptive words.
- For exact phrase searches, put quotes around the phrase. For example: “php development”
To remove a word from the results, put a hyphen – – – in front of it and no spaces.
For example: “Development-Design”
2. Use filters to narrow down your search results.
Use filters to continue working on the project you really want. You can filter by category, budget, and location etc. You can filter bad projects, projects you’ve viewed, and projects you’ve applied to.
3. Save your search.
Once you’re satisfied with your search results, save your search. Your saved searches will appear on the favorite & Search page and in the Saved Searches drop-down menu in the Control Panel. Check regularly for new project postings that match your criteria.
