What is a Job feed anyway and why you should use them?

Let's face it. You post your resume at Nextjob.us anticipating that you will get nice Job offers. Now there are two ways to get them. Either prospective employers will contact you via phone or email or you search for those jobs at Nextjob.us and send your resume.

   So your are fine with receiving Phone calls or emails from employers. In order to ease burden on you for pro-actively searching for jobs , we have an additional feature of send Jobs to you which matches your resume profile. Chances are, you may or may not like receiving emails (based on the fact that you are actively searching for Jobs or just  try to see your worth in Job market!).  So if you fall in second category, where you don't want to get automated emails from us but still want to keep yourself updated of new job postings that may interest you and you don't want to come at Nextjob.us at every hour to search for new jobs, what are your options!

   Try Job feeds, it is the solution you are looking for. If you need a primer on automated feeds here is some reading material for you. In a nutshell, Job feeds are sort of automated search engines, that will fetch Jobs for your skill set (such as developer positions in Oracle or java or Sap and so on) and a region (a set of nearby states). You can subscribe to these Job feeds in a feed reader of your choice. Please click on following thumbnail to see a little slide show for the proof of concept.

 

How to create Job feeds

There are two places where you can save your Job feeds. In your control panel and in your choice of feed reader (bloglines,google,yahoo,netvives and so on). There are points to consider

  • You can save as many job feeds as you want
  • Each Job feed is configured to get Jobs posted for a particular skill set in a set of states.
