RSS Scraper Job Feeds
Since I’m looking for work with specific institutions of interest in the Washington, DC, area, I thought I could track jobs more easily if I could subscribe to the relevant RSS feeds. Alas, although any institution now has its “Job Opportunities” web page, they seldom have RSS feeds of those pages. So I decided to work out my Ruby and Regular Expression skills and build my own feeds. These are built from RubyForge RSSscraper, written by Monster or <a href=”http://www.dice.com”>Dice or their ilk, so I can’t compare this to what they offer. But I find it useful so far, although scraping HTML from the NSF has been really challenging. I’d recommend that one sign up with their email job notification service.
