"Job alerts" typically refer to notifications or updates that individuals receive when new job openings matching their criteria become available. These alerts are commonly provided by job search websites and platforms to help job seekers stay informed about relevant job opportunities. Here's how job alerts typically work:

[*][color=var(--tw-prose-bold)]Create a Profile:[/color] Job seekers usually start by creating a profile on a job search website or platform. In some cases, they may need to upload a resume and specify their job preferences, such as location, industry, job type, and more.
[*][color=var(--tw-prose-bold)]Set Search Criteria:[/color] Users can set specific search criteria, including keywords, location, job type (full-time, part-time, contract), salary range, and other preferences.
[*][color=var(--tw-prose-bold)]Save Searches:[/color] After setting their criteria, job seekers can save their searches. This allows the platform to periodically check for new job listings that match the specified criteria.
[*][color=var(--tw-prose-bold)]Email Notifications:[/color] Job search platforms often offer the option to receive email notifications or alerts. When new job listings that match the user's criteria are posted on the platform, the user will receive an email notification with details about the job.
[*][color=var(--tw-prose-bold)]Customization:[/color] Users can customize the frequency of alerts (daily, weekly, etc.) and the types of jobs they want to be notified about.
[*][color=var(--tw-prose-bold)]Review and Apply:[/color] Upon receiving an alert, job seekers can review the job details and, if interested, click through to the job listing to apply. Some platforms may allow users to apply directly through their platform.
[*][color=var(--tw-prose-bold)]Manage Alerts:[/color] Users can typically manage their job alerts by modifying their search criteria, updating their preferences, or disabling alerts when they are no longer needed.
