Horse Racing vs. Horseracing
The StandingStart newsletter intends to offer advice for horse racing job hunters as well as share highlighted job offerings and representative postings from around the industry. The reader is encouraged to search for other jobs as well for the newsletter doesn’t offer an exhaustive list the available jobs.
The Space Bar Matters
Contemporary, social media usage of hashtags is reliant on the lack of space to keep the intended meaning of the search term. Search engines, especially those on job websites, use very specific search terms. Often search engine optimizations use properly spelled and grammatically correct phrases. This is extremely important when looking for employment within this industry. Dictionary.com has no entry for ‘horseracing’ but does for ‘horse racing.’ ‘Horseracing’ and ‘horse racing’ may be interchangeable in your mind; however, it is best to use the space bar and make the phrase two words.
For example, I just searched for ‘horseracing jobs’ in the LinkedIn app to be returned to fifteen listings in the United States. The simple use of the space bar at the right location increases the listing of available jobs to over four hundred.
Similarly, these searches within the Indeed app yield five ‘horseracing’ jobs published in the last week and more than one hundred ‘horse racing’ jobs.
The use of the space bar also impacts other horse racing searches. The proper inclusion of a space in the name of Fair Grounds will be more fruitful for the readers’ goal than fairgrounds. Hopefully, one additional keystroke will help your job search in addition to the opportunities listed below.
