If you wanted to find just individuals who have reached Manager or Director level, then you might
use the following command:
“Manager” OR “Director”
To combine both commands into one search, we use brackets to tell the search engine that these

either Manager or Director and also one of IBM, Oracle, Red Hat, or Microsoft, we group them

It makes no difference which order the two bracketed sections go; the same results will result
either way.
NOT ( - )
This would give you results that contain the word architect, but leaving out any that use the
phrase “software architects”. Very useful if you are operating in the construction industry
