For requests like "find remote Python jobs", "marketing jobs in New York", "junior data analyst jobs posted this week", "senior software engineer jobs in London", "nurse jobs in Manchester". Job words go in what and the place in where. Everyday phrasing in what also works: level words (junior, senior), "remote", "in <city>" and "this week" are picked out.
