Easy Internet Job Hunting

It’s time consuming to go to multiple Job Boards to search for Jobs that meet you’re search criteria. Would you like to have those Job Openings magically appear on your home page?

Well it’s not exactly magic, but it's now possible with a new technology called RSS.

RSS is Short for RDF Site Summary or Rich Site Summary, an XML format for syndicating Web content. A Web site that wants to allow other sites to publish some of its content creates an RSS document and registers the document with an RSS publisher. A user that can read RSS-distributed content can use the content on a different site. Syndicated content includes such data as news feeds, events listings, news stories, headlines, project updates, and excerpts from discussion forums or even corporate information.
RSS was originally developed by Netscape
Setting this up is easy.

First go to http://www.indeed.com/, http://www.simplyhired.com/, or http://www.pagebites.com/. These sites comb the internet looking for all job openings that meet you’re search criteria. These sites search Mega Job Boards such as Monster, Careerbuilder, and Dice.com. They also search Corporate Web Sites. Do a search and then look for the RSS link. Copy and Paste this link into a RSS Reader.

Here is a list of RSS Readers.
I use http://www.live.com which I highly recommend.
http://my.yahoo.com/
http://www.rojo.com/login/
http://my.aol.com/
http://my.msn.com/


Oh! By the way, here’s the RSS feed link to my BLOG
