Job Search Tactic Use The Internet Better (shift-click)

Job Search Tactic Use The Internet Better (shift-click) For many years Ive used a little trick that helps me have a better experience online. Its so amazingly simple, and I bet many of you know about it, and do it but for the rest of you, heres a quick tip: If you want to open a link in a new window/tab, simply hold the SHIFT key down while you click on the link. Updated as per the comment from NUN: in FF and IE, use CONTROL-click In my browser, this opens the page in a new tab. That way, the page you were on will stay on a tab, and the new tab will have the content of whatever you clicked on. Heres an example in JibberJobber Ill do a search for people based on something lets say I do a search for people in Utah (note: this is only searching my private database if you dont have anyone in your contacts list in Utah, youll get nothing :)). When I see the search results I click on each of the profiles I want to open, holding the shift key down.  That opens each profile in a new tab, so I can have the main list panel open while each contact detail page is opened in its own tab. You can do this from any page on the internet another example, when I take a break to check the news Ill do the shift/click trick to open the articles Im interested in reading they all open in their own tab. Simple, right?  Useful, definitely! Job Search Tactic Use The Internet Better (shift-click) For many years Ive used a little trick that helps me have a better experience online.
