@jojo – you can use a site such as http://www.zipmath.com/zmsl.cgi?LOADPAGE|e_rad.html to enter a zip code and choose a radius of say, 20 miles. The results come back as a list of zip codes ordered from lowest to highest numerically. You can then take the lowest number and highest number of the range and use them with Google’s numrange function, which is two periods. For example: 33503..34695. Combine that with a resume search, and you can find resumes of people who list an address with a zip code. Here is an example with many hits on the zip code: http://bit.ly/9xUfzD Thanks for asking!

Thanks!

I added the -~job and -~jobs at the end of the string to eliminate the large volume of false positive results that come from searching for the term “resume” that are job postings or resume sample sites. You are correct, removing that from the search does increase the results, but most (if not all, in most cases) of the results are false positives/irrelevant.

Hey Author!!! good work…
Infact very interesting “MATCH”… May be this is stupid enough question but why do you add

-~job and -~jobs

at the end of string..

Removing it gives more wider result (may be irrelavavent)
