How to Find the Right Opportunities
All the jobs you see are personalized for you.
When a business goes to post a job on WayUp, they tell us the type of candidates that they’re looking for. Whether it’s students or recent grads from a certain school, with a certain major or with a certain skill, we make sure to match students with the jobs that they are qualified for, so you can be rest assured that all the jobs you’re seeing are jobs that you are actually qualified to apply for based on your profile.
Difference between partner jobs and WayUp jobs
1. If a job has a blue button, then it’s a WayUp job. These are jobs that YOU are qualified to apply for based on your profile and based on the employer’s specifications. You can apply for 99% of WayUp jobs using your WayUp profile.
2. If a job has a greyish-purple button, then it’s from our partners. You’ll be brought to a third-party site where you can apply.
3. You can search through all jobs by using the filter-menu at the top of the screen.
Review your job preferences so you see jobs that you’re actually interested in.
When you are logged in, click “Account Settings” on the top left, and select all of the kinds of jobs you want to see. By selecting your job preferences, we will make sure to show these types of jobs first when you are looking on WayUp and in any emails we send you!
How will you hear about jobs you qualify for?
Check out the rest of the “Account Settings” page. Make sure you have selected your preferred email contact and have given us your phone number so that employers (whose jobs you have applied to) can contact you!
When will you hear about these jobs?
Scroll a bit further down the “Account Settings” page, and you can tell us how often you want to hear from us AND what kinds of updates you want to get. For instance, if you are a senior or recent grad, we can make sure to only tell you about entry level roles.
Interested in SPECIFIC kinds of jobs? Use the filter bar.
So, you went crazy on your job preferences – we think that’s awesome! We have a killer filter search to help you narrow done what jobs you want to find.
Go to the “Jobs Page,” where you can filter down jobs by:
- Time of year
- Location
- Type of job
- Industry
- If it’s paid
- If it’s 1-click apply
