How to get ahead of the stack in San Diego
- Apply to new postings first. Only 331 of 2,831 open jobs here were posted in the last week. Recruiters often start reviewing as applications arrive.
- Apply on the employer's own site. Search “[company] careers” and find the same job there, so your application lands in their system.
- Ask about pay early. 36% of listings here show pay. When a listing doesn't, it's fair to ask for the range before an interview.
