Read Available Job RSS Feeds On Your Mobile Phone

May 21, 2007

You’re the king of the castle but it takes a lot of moolah to keep that kingdom of yours running smoothly.

I have a tech tip to help you keep an eye out for available jobs using the RSS feeds for job boards you frequent.

This is very convenient if you have a mobile phone, smart phone or PDA with Internet access. If not, you can still set this up to view with your desktop computer browser bookmarks.

Just follow these easy steps:

  1. Create a Google Reader or Bloglines account via your desktop Web browser.
  2. Go to your favorite job boards and find the specific RSS/XML feed links for the search results you want. Then paste them one-by-one into Google Reader or Bloglines and organize to your preference.
  3. Go online with your phone or PDA and bookmark the appropriate URL:
    http://www.google.com/reader/m/view/
    http://m.bloglines.com
  4. Login to your account on your phone/PDA.

That’s it. Now you have custom feeds available wherever and whenever you want them. Great for scanning job postings, or keeping track of sports and news topics.

I’ve found RSS feeds available on these job boards: Yahoo! Hot Jobs, Monster, CareerBuilder, Dice, NYTimes, Indeed

Please let me know if you find this useful and what feeds you’d use it for.
Thanks!
