Searching by Discipline and Date
When employers and recruiters enter jobs into our database, they specify a discipline that the job is most relevant to. You can specify up to 4 of these disciplines or categories (e.g. Chemical Engineering, Civil Engineering) by clicking on the discipline while holding down the Control key. Your search will only show those jobs that are in the disciplines you have specified. If you want to see all the jobs in a certain discipline (e.g., all the Chemical Engineering jobs), go to one of the Job Banks:
- Entry Level Engineering Job Bank
- Chemical Engineering Job Bank
- Civil Engineering Job Bank
- Electrical Engineering Job Bank
- Manufacturing/Industrial Engineering Job Bank
- Mechanical Engineering Job Bank
- Other (Miscellaneous) Engineering Job Bank
- Computer/IT Job Bank
You can also search by date - you can choose to view only ads that are less than 24 hours old, less than 3 days old, etc. The oldest ads on EngCen.com are 60 days old. After that they will be deleted unless the employer or recruiter decides to renew them.
The date of a job should only be used as a reminder so you do not apply for the same job twice.
If you are qualified for and interested in a job, but have not yet applied for it, don't worry about the date!
Repeat: If you are qualified for and interested in a job, but have not yet applied for it, don't worry about the date!
Many job seekers assume that if a job is a bit old, it is no longer available. This is a big mistake! Many of these jobs stay open for 6 months before they are filled. If you are qualified for and interested in a job, don't worry about the date - APPLY!
