how can I capture the argument with a certain word

Question

In my code below, I used startswith() method to find out if an argument has word "sales" in it or not. However, it only checks if it starts with the word. How can I capture all the argument that has word "sales" in it? (regardless starts with, ends with, or in the middle)

def isSales(job):
    a = job.lower()
    if a.startswith('sales'):
        return 'True'

Thank you.

Question has nothing to do with pandas. – cs95 Sep 26 '17 at 08:32 — cs95, Sep 26 '17 at 08:32

'startswith' as the name says it only checks at the beginning.

def isSales(job):
    a = job.lower()
    if 'sales' in a:
        return 'True'
