43. 43 The heart icon is for marking a job as a Favorite. The location/map symbol is to see where this job is located on a map. The “People with Similar Jobs” will present you with screens showing common skills, certificates & licenses, level of education, level of experience and typical resumes for people who have been placed successfully into similar jobs. The magnifying glass (similar jobs) will perform the search based on that particular job. It will no longer be matching based on the resume. This is particularly helpful for customers who have a very varied work history and get a mix of jobs in their search results. In this case, they could narrow down the job type they like, click on the magnifying glass and get more jobs that look like that job.
