Is it possible to know if visitor arrived at the web page via organic search and if so, show some content?

Hello,
Is it possible to know if visitors are arriving at a web page via organic search?
Background:
We have a section of job description pages to explain typical tasks. These have very high bounce rate (some 100%), and I think people are confusing them with actual jobs. For example "stage designer". Many of those keyword we have very high rankings.
I am thinking of having a small notice at the top of those page to say something like "if you are stage designer job, check out our job section".
Thanks

Thank you.
Can you also not only check if the visitor is coming via search BUT also keyword used so I can make my notices more specific?

Thanks Tom!

Hi Kevin
Thumbs down was from me and was a genuine misclick, really sorry!
Can't seem to cancel the thumbs down, so I've popped you a thumbs up instead.
Sorry again!

Responding to the thumbs down. I may have read this wrong, but my interpretation was to show a specific message to people arriving via organics. Huw seems to know that the bounce rates were high, so I assumed he was already in Google Analytics.

Hi Huw
Yes, this is quite easy to do in Google Analytics.
In your analytics window , click on "Traffic sources ->Sources ->All traffic". Then click "advanced segments" near the top navigation bar, then select "non-paid search traffic". Click apply and it should bring up traffic that has only come from organic search.
From here, you can then sort by keyword. Next to the "Primary dimension" should be a few clickable bits of text. If you click "Other" and then "Traffic Sources" and "Keyword", it will sort your organic search visits by keyword.
In the search bar towards the right you can then search and filter for specific keywords.
If you can see a decent amount of traffic coming in via that keyword, I would then look to serve them some specific content.
Hope this helps!

Yes you can via HTTP_REFERER (if using PHP). There are plenty of examples out there.

Does anyone know of a predictive demographics software that helps a website predict its audience based on cookies, or whatever info it has?
Hi guys, I'm looking for a predictive analytics software for better understanding our audience online. Has anyone heard of or used a software that takes the visitors currently coming to your site and uses that data to 'predict' more information about them? Such as age, location, purchasing power, etc? Please let me know if you have!

Is a Shorter Page Title Better?
Is there any evidence that SEs give a greater weighting to keyword phrases in the page title if there are less characters? For example: 1. "Buy Silver Bullion" 2. "Buy Silver Bullion Coins Bars Rounds Easily Privately Securely" The key phrase I am trying to optimize for is "Buy Silver Bullion." To my knowledge, current practices would say the 2nd phrase is better optimized since it contains more keywords and it has a few USPs. But is there any evidence that the 1st example would be higher ranked in google for the phrase "Buy Silver Bullion" because it is more focused than the 2nd?
