It gives you a subset to choose from as well as how many positions are currently posted in each subset. I selected less than 20 from at least three different categories (far left column), then set up my profile. A couple of “Skip for Now” clicks and voila!

20+ positions for me to peek at. Maybe later. Right now I have more sites to screenshot!

I do the legwork so you don’t have to!
