Monitor Jobs Via ZapTXT
We recently re-casted the Jobs category under Quick ZapTasks on the right side of main console. Our list of feeds, whilst somewhat arbitrary did have some method to the madness. They present a list of feeds from the leading technology/Web 2.0/New Media blogs that have started offering job boards with RSS feeds.
Update: We just added the LifeHacker Job Board Feed to this list as well. The ZapTask link below also has been updated.
For those that are wondering what the utility is of a specialty job board, here’s a good post I came across, written by Paul Stamatiou.
Here’s the (updated) list:
- 37 Signals
- Crunchboard (TechCrunch)
- Guy Kawasaki Job Site
- Joel On Software
- PaidContent
- ProBlogger
- Read/WriteWeb
- Slashdot
- TechGigger
- VentureBeat
- LifeHacker
Here’s what a sample ZapTXT alert looks like for a Flash designer posting on LifeHacker:
Unfortunately, some job boards offered by a few of the well-known blogs do not have well formed feeds but we have many of the good ones here.
To get started
- On ZapTXT.com, go to the Jobs section under Quick ZapTasks,
check off the job boards that you want to monitor, filter listings if
you like (e.g. Designer, Marketing, etc), and pick your delivery
preferences. Thats it. Move on with your life, we’ll alert when we
find a match.
OR
- Or if you want to monitor the whole list above, use this shared ZapTask for Jobs that has all of the feeds bundled up as one. For those of you so inclined, you can even export this as OPML if you like, to take it to your reader after you set it up. Just click on the Export link on your MyZapTasks page.
Drop us a line in the comments section below if you think we omitted any good ones.
Happy Zapping, Sameer
