### Step 1: Go to Event Setup

Log in to your event platform and navigate to the **Event Setup** section. You can find this option in the **left navigation menu** of your dashboard.

### Step 2: Scroll Down to General Settings

Once you're in the **Event Setup** area, scroll down the page and click "**Advance Settings**".

### Step 3: Locate "Enable Radius Search for Jobs"

Then scroll down until you reach the **Search Resume/Attendee** section., look for the option labeled **Enable Radius Search for Jobs**. This setting controls whether attendees can search for job opportunities based on their location and within a set radius.

### Step 4: Click to Enable the Radius Search Feature

Once you’ve located the **Enable Radius Search for Jobs** option, click the toggle to turn it **on**. Enabling this feature will activate the radius search capability for all job listings, allowing users to filter job opportunities by distance from their location.

### Step 5: Click "Update" to Save the Changes

After enabling the **Radius Search for Jobs** feature, be sure to click the **Update** button present at the bottom right of the screen to save your changes. This will apply the setting, and users will now be able to search for jobs based on their geographical preferences.

### Why Enable the Radius Feature for Jobs?

- **Improved Search Relevance**: The radius search feature allows job seekers to find positions that are within a reasonable commuting distance or closer to their current location, improving the relevance of job opportunities.
- **Personalized Job Search**: Attendees and users can personalize their job search experience by specifying how far they are willing to search for available positions.
- **Better Job Matching**: This feature is especially useful for location-specific events or industries where proximity is important (e.g., local job fairs, regional conferences, or industry meetups).

### Additional Tips

- **Set Radius Limits**: Depending on the platform, you may be able to specify the maximum search radius (e.g., 10 miles, 50 miles, etc.). This can help control the scope of job searches and ensure that results are localized and relevant.
- **Communicate to Attendees**: If this feature is enabled for the first time, inform your attendees or job seekers about it so they can use the new search capabilities to their advantage.
- **Test the Feature**: Before the event goes live, test the radius search feature by searching for jobs within different distances to ensure that it works correctly and provides accurate results.

By following these simple steps, you can easily enable the radius search functionality for jobs, making it easier for attendees to find relevant job listings based on their location preferences.
