use RSS feeds to find a job near you
RSS and RSS feeds are growing more and more popular. While many people have been using them to view popular news sources and content from their favorite web sites there is an increasing number of RSS job related feeds appearing online.
What’s cool about RSS job feeds is that the information comes to you instead of you going out to look for it. Say for example you are looking for job in San Diego. RSS aggregation web sites, such as KickRSS.com, aggregate lots of content (including job content) into one convenient location. You can view the XML feed called “San Diego Jobs RSS” and you will get local information about jobs in the San Diego area.
I checked the users page on KickRSS to see what other job-related RSS feeds they had posted. Here’s a brief list…
Welding Jobs - this was not a local feed, a couple of aggregated feeds related to welding jobs.
Nursing Jobs - not a local feed, aggregating content from a number of nursing job related web sites.
Chicago jobs - local job RSS feed aggregation for the Chicago area.
Nanny Jobs and Nannies Available - pulling content from a number of web sites related to nanny jobs.
Jobs RSS feeds - general job related RSS feeds, probably something a particular individual is watching for.
What would be cool to see is a localization process such as aggregated job feeds for things such as “nursing jobs New York” or “welding jobs Los Angeles” that when someone browsing through the RSS content to get specific localized job-related information. Many web sites have categorized their job classifieds so they are easier to navigate. With RSS we are hoping to see ultra categorization or organization. By that I mean someone seeking information about “nursing jobs New York” would get an aggregation of job listings appearing on numerous web sites, rather than just the postings placed on one web site.
When I locate good examples I will post them here.
