Start by signing in to the official hiring website in Chrome. Open its job-search page, confirm that your extension licence is active, and enable monitoring. Keep the page open while you are available to review opportunities. When an alert appears, read the location, employment type, duration, pay information, and shift time before continuing.
Availability can change between detection and selection. A listing displayed on the search page does not guarantee that its shift remains available. The extension can retry an opportunity when the official page reports that no slots remain, but it cannot create availability or reserve a position.
How the filters work together
Location, employment type, and preferred shift-time settings narrow which opportunities are opened. Leaving a filter empty keeps that category unrestricted. This means a new customer can begin with broad settings, confirm that monitoring works, and then add filters one at a time.
An exact shift time is optional. When it is configured, the extension compares the displayed schedule with your saved preference. If it is not configured, the extension continues its normal matching behaviour. This prevents an unused setting from blocking otherwise suitable opportunities.
