LatPro Q & A
 
Q: How can I see my LatPro job search results grouped by city?

A:
If you're looking for a job in a particular metro area, you may want to see your job search results grouped by city. This is very easy to do. On the search results page, simply click on the "Location" icon found in the search results title bar. This will automatically re-organize your job results by city in ascending alphabetical order. Clicking on the arrow icon again will sort your results in descending order.

Remember, occasionally the same city may have been entered with different spellings (for example: Ft. Lauderdale or Fort Lauderdale), which may cause results for the same city to be separated into different "groups." If your city falls under this category, be sure to scan the list for alternative spellings.
