Tips for Effective Searches

Use state codes for broader coverage: --location CA will match all California cities (San Francisco, Los Angeles, San Diego, etc.)
Check both timeframes: If lastday returns few results, try lastweek to see more opportunities.
Monitor both roles: Some companies post similar positions under both internship and new grad categories.
