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.

Getting People to Leave Product Reviews, When they've reached our site in search of reviews
We have a product review website that has been showing a steady increase in organic traffic. However we seem to be having a disconnect between what happens when a visitor arrives. We essentially want a visitor coming to our website in search of a review, to LEAVE a review for another product they may have used... Any suggestions on ways we might encourage this? We are kind of newbies at this!

Keyword order on location searches
If someone is trying to find a service in a certain area they might use Google to search for "London plumber", "Plumber London" or "Plumber in London". Is there any research to show which of these tends to be used most, or are they all roughly the same? Thanks!

Forced Page Views and Search Engines?
I have a website that was built for the primary purpose of showing HTML 5 capabilities. With this, we have to create forced page views within analytics in order to receive any data about consumer behavior on the site. Are search engines viewing these forced page views as actual webpages? Does it even effect SEO efforts?

Is it still possible in certain industries
To take a site from no where to the top of google in some of the top industries such as Gambling and Finance. I am a never say never type entrepreneur and say yes the logic is there as with all SEO to break into it. How do you feel the internet will shape up in say 10 years time will we see less of the smaller guys take on the world with the larger keywords.
