Tutorial: Job Searching Made Easy

January 28th, 2009

These days, it seems like every job opening is posted to the web, and without the proper tools, sifting through all of them can be extremely time consuming.  When I was job hunting, I came up with a great system that made finding the relevant jobs I cared about very easy, and all it required from me was checking my RSS feeds daily.  I’ve posted the system that I used since I’ve had a couple of people ask me about it – I hope it is helpful to anyone looking for a job (Note: I am not looking for one currently, I’ve just finally gotten around to writing up the methods I used)!

When I signed up, I just wanted internet, only to find that there was a $15 charge per month for having “only” internet. My choices were to pay $15 for nothing, or $18 for limited basic)
