Don't limit yourself:
Create an alert that's not too specific. Start with a few "broad" search criteria (e.g., select a province rather than a city, or select multiple cities/regions rather than just one city). If you find you're getting too many jobs, you can always narrow your search parameters (e.g., select some keywords). You'll receive fewer jobs, but they'll be more suited to what you want.
Set a wide salary range:
If you're inputting salary details, give a healthy range. You don't want to miss a great opportunity because your salary expectations are set too high.
Increase your options:
If you feel the need to be very specific, create more than one job alert to cater to various areas that interest you. You can create up to five different job alerts and you can modify the search criteria at any time.
