Using XML/RSS in Your Job Search

by: George Smith

In a nutshell RSS allows you to receive information from sites such as News or Job Boards without having to visit those sites each time you want an update. Not all web sites currently provide XML or RSS, but it is growing rapidly in popularity and many Job Sites and Career Boards do provide it.

What does it look like?

RSS is really just a standardized form of data based on XML. The data itself is processed by an RSS Reader or Aggregator into a human readable format. The real power of RSS aggregation is you can have all the feeds sent to one location. You can save a huge amount of time job hunting by sending all your favorite job board feeds to one place.
