JOB SEARCHING IS
TIME-CONSUMING
Visiting job boards
Managing e-mail search alerts for jobs matching your interests
Visiting / participating on LinkedIn
Performing target company research
There just aren’t enough hours in the day
RSS can give you back some of that time

WHAT IS RSS?
Really Simple Syndication
A type of web feed used to publish / distribute frequently updated content
Designed to notify users when a website or blog updates with fresh content
Monitored through an RSS reader, like Google Reader.
When sites update content, the RSS reader is notified.
When you login to your reader, feeds show up like e-mail in your inbox.

BENEFITS OF RSS
Centralize content consumption in one place
Scroll through content (i.e., “feeds”) from multiple sites without visiting each one
Categorize content into folders / subfolders
Once configured, users are able to read and consume more in a shorter period of time
RSS + You = Win!
