You want to have a quick look at rails’ condition handling stuff  
([Peak Obsession](http://api.rubyonrails.com/classes/ActiveRecord/Base.html)  
)

In a nutshell assuming a country parameter was being submitted you’d  
do something like

@postjobs = PostJob.find :all, :conditions =\> [“country=?”,  
params[:country]]  
or  
@postjobs = PostJob.find :all, :conditions =\> {:country=\>  
params[:country]}
