Indeed Emails from Brittany

Emails you receive from Brittany are job suggestions created by matching your resume and profile data to a posted job on Indeed.

These jobs are matched based off of:

Resume data (location, skills, education)

Job titles youre interested in

Indeed is constantly working to improve matching capabilities, but if these matches seem off, please update your profile at my.indeed.com.

As a job seeker, you might want to limit your search to show just jobs from a particular company or with a specific job title. Check out the examples below to get a better understanding of how to perform specified searches.

Search string examples

To return all jobs at Microsoft, enter the following in the what box:

company:microsoft

This search string returns all jobs that include the word consultant in the job title:

title:consultant

If the company name or job title includes multiple words, use double quotation marks. For example:

title:"business development"

Searching for complex phrases

You can also use complex phrases to fine-tune your search.

For example, to return all jobs that contain the termhealthcareand either the wordmanagerordirector, type the following in thewhatbox:

(manager OR director) and healthcare

To improve your results, you can continue to revise the search as follows:

(manager OR director) and (healthcare OR pharmaceutical) NOT sales

Tip: Your most recent 10 search strings show to the left of your search results, so you don't have to remember your search strings or re enter them each time you search.

Watch the video below for more information on how to effectively search for jobs on Indeed.

If you believe you are a victim of a scam, consider following these tips.

The internet has made many functions of daily life easier and more efficient. But it has also given unscrupulous individuals new tools to perpetrate scams. At Indeed, our mission of helping people get jobs includes working proactively to keep predatory content out of search results and providing tools to help job seekers protect their personal information and financial well-being.

The following guidelines are designed to help job seekers recognize and avoid fraudulent tactics.

Job Search Dos

Look for verifiable company email addresses. Larger, more established companies have email addresses with top level domains that match their websites. Communications from such large established companies should most often not come from publicly available addresses like yahoo or gmail. If you are contacted by someone with a generic address, ask if they are able to conduct communications via a company domain email address. If theycan'tor wont, proceed with caution.

Watch closely for email addresses with misspelled or spoofed company names. These are often similar to, but not exactly matching the actual company name. Examples of suspicious addresses include [email protected] instead of [email protected], and misspelled company names like [email protected] or [email protected].

Match the job offer to your application. Avoid bait-and-switch scams by confirming that employers that respond to your applications are offering the job for which you applied.

Be cautious when pursuing positions with salaries, perks and flexibility that seem too good to be true. Ask questions to confirm that the position is salaried (not commission only) and that there is a physical base of operations when a work from home opportunity is advertised.

Insist on an in-person meeting. Be wary of job offers that come with little or no interview process. Scammers will often avoid face-to-face interviews by relying on chat services, Skype calls or Google hangouts while offering work from home positions.

Always report suspicious communications to Indeed. If you are contacted by someone you suspect of fraudulent intentions or suspicious business practices, please contact Indeed immediately.

Job Search Donts

Never send any form of payment to a potential employer you apply to on Indeed. Not only is charging fees a violation of Indeeds rules for companies, these are often a type of scam (see Types of scams.)

Never agree to perform any financial transaction on behalf of a potential employer. This includes accepting or making wire transfers or cashing checks sent to you in order to make purchases on someones behalf.

Never agree to a job that involves opening multiple accounts and/or posting ads on Indeed or on other sites. These are likely scammers and you could become involved in activities that put you in financial and legal jeopardy.

Never accept money upfront for work you have not performed. This is a tactic commonly used in financial scams and puts you at considerable legal risk.

Types of Scams to Avoid

Check Scams

Check scams get people to unwittingly take on the risk of passing a bad check. Look out for scammers that offer elaborate stories about needing a personal assistant, caregiver or someone to cash a check to make large purchases or transfer money for them while they are out of town. These often include stories where:

You are required to purchase expensive medical equipment for a family member for them.

They are going to open up a new office in your area and you are required to purchase office supplies, equipment or software using the check.

They offer to pay you up front for work you havent performed yet and ask that you transfer the remainder of the check to another account for them.

Money Laundering Scams

Reputable, legitimate companies should never ask you to perform financial transactions or money transfers for them, especially via Western Union, MoneyGram or BitCoin. Even you are not asked to transfer any of your own money, these unsavory entities are often looking for other people to perform scam related financial transactions so theydon'thave to.

Shipping Scams

There is no legitimate scenario where an employer should require you to re-ship packages from your home. These are known as Reshipping Scams and offer work-at-home positions, sometimes advertised as merchandising manager or package processing assistant. Duties include receiving packages and mailing them to foreign addresses on behalf of a client, using postage-paid mailing labels provided via email. Unbeknownst to the new employee, these packages contain:

Merchandise bought with stolen credit cards, which are smuggled out of the country by the reshipping scam.

Counterfeit postal money orders, which are distributed to other scammers.

After helping to smuggle these things out of the country, an employee is paid with counterfeit checks or postal money orders. More information on reshipping scams is available from the U.S. Postal Inspection Services website.

Fee Scams

It shouldnt cost you money to apply for a job. Not only do fee scams fleece job seekers, they are also signs that a company is involved in other shady activities. Certain legitimate expenditures like uniforms and job tools may be required after you accept a position, but are generally deducted from your salary after you begin working. Likewise, background checks are most often paid for by the employer or offered directly to you by a local government agency and should not be paid by you in the form of a fee to the employer. Types of fees often levied unscrupulously include:

application fees

recruiter placement fees

interview reservations

training fees

resume formatting/re-writing fees

background check fees

If you have any concerns about a job you find on Indeed or receive any communication of job offer that concerns you, please contact Indeed immediately.

Fraudulent email messages referred to as "phishing" are becoming more common.

These types of emails point to invalid hyperlinks that are revealed when you hold your cursor over them. These links may contain malware, which could harm your computer. Other fraudulent emails may request financial information from you.

By using company trademarks, colors, logos, mail systems and legal disclaimers these "phishing" emails can look very real. Individuals have used these techniques in order to fool Indeed users. You can usually spot these emails because they may say they are "processing" your Indeed account for a third party such as Amazon or PayPal. They may request financial information or your bank account information.

These are not Indeed communications. Should you receive any of these emails, do not click on the links provided.

Instead, delete the email. If you've already clicked on a link, run a virus scan immediately.

Please note that Indeed does not request personal information, financial information, account numbers, bank account numbers in an unsolicited manner through an email request. If you have any questions, please contact Indeed.

When you apply to a job through Indeed and the employer views your application in their Indeed account, you will receive notification in your email and your Indeed account.

Please note: we are unable to provide notifications when every employer views your application. Employers have two ways to view applications, via their Indeed account as well as via email, and we are currently only able to track when they open an application in their Indeed account.

Additionally, we are unable to provide notification that an employer has viewed your application when it has been submitted via a third party site.

Keep in mind that if you have not received a notification that the employer viewed your application, that does not necessarily mean they have not viewed your application, just that they have not viewed it in their Indeed account.

If you would like to follow up on your application, please contact the employer directly. Indeed is not involved in the hiring process for the companies listed on our site. If an employer is interested, they will reach out to you directly.

We currentlydon'tallow candidates to retake assessments.

We take our security very seriously and welcome any responsible disclosure of potential gaps in our systems.Indeed is an active supporter of the ethical hacking community. As part of that commitment, we fund a public bug bounty program.

You can sign up at: https://bugcrowd.com/indeed and submit your finding. The Bugcrowd team will review your submission and payout according to the guidelines of the program. The details are available at the link above.

Why application confirmation emails are helpful

Some jobs allow you to apply directly through Indeed. These are jobs marked Easily apply or Apply with your Indeed Resume.When you successfully apply to one of these jobs, Indeed sends a confirmation email to you for your records.

The confirmation email will have a link to the job posting so you can get back to it easily. It will also give you an overview of what you included on your application. For instance, it may say that you included a resume and a cover letter.

Can't find your application confirmation email?

If youcan'tfind the confirmation emails in your inbox, you may be able to find them in your spam folder. Be sure to add [email protected] as a safe sender to your contact list to help prevent them from being marked as junk!

Opting out of application confirmation emails

If youdon'tfind these emails useful, you can opt out at any time. You will find a link at the bottom of each Application Confirmation email that says unsubscribe. Clicking that link will remove you from the mailing list and you will no longer receive those emails when you apply for jobs.

Opted out and want to opt back in?

Ifyou'veunsubscribed from those emails and you wish to opt back in, you absolutely can. Simply find one of the emailsyou'vegotten in the past and click the unsubscribe link again. Youll be taken to a page where youll see an undo link.

Clicking on that will re-subscribe you to those emails and you will start receiving them again as you apply to any new jobs. Note that you will not receive emails for jobs you applied to before opting back in.

Can I change my email account associated with the app?

No, once you enter your email you will not be able to change the email account associated with the app. If you wish to change your email, you can cash out and create another account with the new email address.

My account was banned, can I still redeem my rewards?

If your account was banned due to a violation of our Terms of Service then the account is no longer functional and the credit in your wallet is revoked. We will not honor any rewards for banned accounts.

Can I cancel my cash-out?

Unfortunately, we are not able to cancel a cash-out request. Keep in mind, your gift card will not expire, so you can save it until youre ready to use it. You can also use it in conjunction with future gift cards that you earn.

How do I report my earnings for tax purposes?

US users who earn over $600 in a calendar year are required to send in a W-9 form to Indeed. Indeed will send back a 1099 earnings statement during tax time, which will be the earnings statement an individual user will use to report income when they file their taxes.

While the content of each phone or video interview assessment will depend on the employer and the positionthey'rehiring for, employers typically use phone and video interviews to learn more about you and your qualifications.

If you would like to contact Indeed Support, you can email us via our support form. You will also find a link to the support form at the bottom of every page in our Help Center.

We apologize, but we do not offer phone support or postal mail support for our job seekers at this time.

Employers will automatically receive your results once you complete the assessment.

What is "My Jobs?"

My Jobs is a way for you to save jobs youre interested in and track those jobs as you move through the application process. Please note that these options are not indications from the employer of your application status but simply a way for you to keep track of the jobs you have applied to. You can easily move jobs between these sections using the drop down menus to the right of the job postings.

How to access "My Jobs"

To access My Jobs, go to http://www.indeed.com/myjobs. You must be logged into your Indeed account to view this page. You can also access this page by clicking on your email address in the top right corner and selecting My Jobs in the drop down menu.

Youaren'trequired to complete assessments. However, keep in mind that some employers might only be willing to consider candidates that do. Plus, completing assessments helps showcase your skills to employers and let them know you're interested.

Think you may be the victim of a scam? Below are tips and next steps:

First and foremost, cease all communication with anyone you suspect is trying to, or has scammed you.

The next thing you can do is report the scam. It is important to contact the proper authorities as soon as possible to help recover lost funds and to prevent others from falling prey to the same scam.

If you have any concerns about a job you find on Indeed or receive any communication or job offer that concerns you, please contact Indeed immediately.

If you believe that someone is conducting scams under the name of a legitimate business, you may want to contact that business and let them know that their name is being used for fraudulent purposes.

If you lost money, provided sensitive private information about yourself to someone who you believe is a scammer, or inadvertently participated in possible illegal activity, you may want to contact your local police or cybercrime division.

You can also file a complaint with the Internet Crime Complaint Center.

If you had monetary loss, shared your bank account details, or believe you are in danger of identity theft, you may also want to report the scam to your bank or financial institution.

If you think you are at risk for identity theft, consider taking these actions:

Contact the Federal Trade Commission through http://identitytheft.gov/ or by calling 1-877-IDTHEFT (1-877-438-4338); TTY 1-866-653-4261. They can provide a step by step plan for recovering from ID theft.

We designed Indeed Assessments to help employers quickly find candidates with the skills they need. With it, employers can send skills tests to candidates and then see how candidates perform in relation to others that have taken the same assessment. Indeed Assessments also lets you proactively take assessments for your Indeed Profile, offering you a way to showcase your skills to potential employers.

We don't currently support uploading cover letters, however, you can enter your cover letter in the message/cover letter field of jobs with the Apply Now button.

Indeed's resume formatting explained

We want to keep Indeed resumes looking relatively uniform and in chronological order so that employers can review them quickly and easily. Using uniform formatting also makes it simpler for users to update their Indeed resumes.

When uploading your resume, make sure that the file is text-based. We recommend uploading a file type that is either a Word document (.doc, .docx), a PDF created from a text file (not scanned in as an image) or a plain .txt, .rtf, .html, or .odt file.
