Using Google Dorking to land a Job

#webdev #career #python #react

A Google dork query, sometimes just referred to as a dork, is a search string or custom query that uses advanced search operators to find information not readily available on a website.

Google Dorking, also known as Google hacking, can return information difficult to locate through simple search queries.

Tips using this method:

1. Identify your desired job sites depending on what roles you're looking for, and in which country you're job hunting

e.g- A lot of German jobs are posted on personio.de, and American at personio.com

2. Identify your keywords.

e.g- "fully remote ", "visa sponsorship available", "hybrid" or "relocation" depending on your goal

3. Add a Date to get the most recent jobs.

Be as Specific as you possibly can to get the best out of this method
