๐ŸŽฏ Google Dorking for Job Hunting: Advanced Tricks & Commands (Part 2)

๐Ÿ’ก In Part 1, we scratched the surface of Google Dorking to find hidden job opportunities. Now, itโ€™s time to level up and unlock some real gems using advanced combinations.

๐Ÿ” Why Go Advanced?
The deeper you dork, the more precise your results. Advanced dorking helps you:

Filter outdated listings.
Target specific file types (like job postings in PDFs).
Discover remote or unlisted roles before others.
Bypass noisy job boards.

โš™๏ธ Advanced Operators + Combos
Letโ€™s combine multiple dorks to find golden job opportunities.

๐Ÿ”น 1. Find Job Descriptions in PDFs from Company Sites

site:example.com intitle:"careers" filetype:pdf
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Replace example.com with a real company, e.g.:

site:accenture.com intitle:"careers" filetype:pdf
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

๐Ÿ”น 2. Target Job Boards with Specific Roles

site:glassdoor.com inurl:"jobs" intitle:"frontend developer"
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

๐Ÿ”น 3. Find Remote Tech Roles from Startup Platforms

site:angel.co intitle:"remote developer" filetype:pdf
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

๐Ÿ”น 4. Internships on University Sites

site:.edu intitle:"summer internship" filetype:pdf
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

๐Ÿ”น 5. Unlisted Job Postings in Excel Format

filetype:xls inurl:"vacancy" OR inurl:"openings"
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

๐Ÿ”น 6. Marketing Jobs in NGOs

site:.org intitle:"we are hiring" "digital marketing"
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

๐Ÿ”น 7. Get Around Login Barriers
Many company job pages hide behind login walls but are indexed by Google. Try:

site:myjobportal.com inurl:"/public/jobs" "software engineer"
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

๐Ÿ”น 8. Government Job Listings

site:.gov intitle:"job opening" filetype:pdf
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

๐Ÿ›ก๏ธ Pro Tip: Add Date Filters
To avoid outdated jobs, go to Google โ†’ Tools โ†’ Past Month (or set a custom range). Youโ€™ll only see recent listings.

๐Ÿง  How to Build Your Own Dorks

Mix and match these like Lego bricks:
site: โ†’ Limit the domain
intitle: โ†’ Job-related words like โ€œcareers,โ€ โ€œjob openings,โ€ โ€œweโ€™re hiringโ€
filetype: โ†’ Use pdf, docx, or xls
" "โ†’ Exact match phrases like "remote UI developer"
AND / ORโ†’ Combine or expand searches
