    • Employer – Select job sources and choose an employer search method
    • Education – Select job sources and choose an educational program and level; good for recent grads with little to no relevant work experience
    • Skills – Select job sources, then choose a match ratio (70%, 50%, 25%) for desired skill sets from your self-assessments: job, tools and technology, WIN or WorkKeys® (if applicable), personal, interests, and work values
