This article describes how to create a Job Scout. This allows you to get the most current job list whenever your Job Scout runs.

A Job Scout is a Saved Job Search which you set up to run automatically at specified intervals. You must have an email address in your WorkSource registration in order to create a job scout. As scheduled, the scout will automatically scan the available jobs and send to your email address a list of jobs that meet your criteria. You may create up to 5 different Job Scouts. You may edit or delete your WorkSource Job Scout at any time.
