JobServe RSS Feeds

[NickFitz]

It appears that I disabled my feed reader's refreshing of my JobServe RSS feeds on 2 April 2009, sometime after 19:30.

Suppose I ought to turn them back on; if anything interesting comes through, it may even motivate me to update my CV

I get email alerts - I find it too depressing having my nose pressed against the screen hitting F5 for 8 hrs a day...

An RSS feed reader automatically refreshes the feeds at specified intervals (thirty minutes in my case) - I can just glance at it now and again to see if anything new has arrived. I find it much more convenient than email, but YMMV

Are Jobserve RSS feeds delayed compared to emails?

My market only seems to update first thing and last thing. so I don't really have to bother with the feeds.

GULP sends me a daily e-mail of all jobs in my search criteria (seems to be better than the Jobserve one as well.) It also sends me a mail when someone is interested in me and an SMS along with that. Admittedly some of the options are a paid-for service but I find it so much better than Jobserve.

Not that I'm aware of, although of course it depends on how often you poll - I've seen things that have only just been posted appear in a feed.

A good feed client should allow you to specify different refresh periods for different feeds; although I tend to keep things on thirty minutes, I could set my Jobserve feeds to refresh every few minutes if I chose, which is more frequently than my mail client checks my POP3 mailbox.

It's the other way around - my JS emails arrive sometime in the middle of the night..... jobs appear on the feeds at any time through the day (admittedly not very often these days!)

A good job you spotted that in time. Another few months and you might have missed one.
