How far back should I look for jobs on MSN/Yahoo?

I've been applying for jobs on internet websites (MSN/Monster, etc.) and I'm not sure how far back to go to find job listings. Is it one, two, three weeks? Any ideas?
How far back should I look for jobs on MSN/Yahoo?
If you are just starting your search - go back as far as the system will allow which is usually thirty days. After this check back daily.





By doing this you catch all the openings that you can - generally, when an opening is filled the posting is removed - or the site is contacted and you will receive a message stating that the position has expired.





It's good practice to go back as far as you can bcz it will allow you to see who is hiring for where - and if a job looks interesting then you can visit that site directly and see if they have any similar postings. On the flip side, once you have been searching for a while you might see the same company listing the same position, it may be a red flag for you that there is turmoil there and they cannot keep employees...in which case you want to avoid them.
Reply:You should go with the most recent listings. Usually if you go back too far, the position by then would probably be filled already. Also, you could email the company and find out how many positions are open. With the larger companies more than one position is more likely to be available. If you go back three weeks, even if the position is already filled, sometimes if they really like your credentials, they may keep your resume on file for some other job you would be qualified for with their company. You should not go back further than three weeks. On your resume be sure to list all your significant experience and keep updating it, as well as your skills, education, and so forth. Good luck.
