I’m in a situation where I’m looking for jobs local to me with decent pay and benefits. I did searches on all the major job sites with my criteria, sorted how I want, striped out the session ids and saved the links in an auto hotkey script so I can quickly check each site every day.
I still have issues with irrelevant results, such as jobs on towns I have no desire to commute to, companies I would never work for, and jobs with requirements I don’t have, such as nursing.
I’m not really a programmer, but I can tinker around with things to an extent. It would be nice to be able to scrape these sites in order to reduce the irrelevant postings, I just don’t know how to go about it.
This may be a good place to start. Most states (that I’m aware of) have workforce development programs with both online tools and physical offices with available assistance. For most state governments it is beneficial to retain high skilled and high paid workers as part of their tax base, and provide employment opportunities to low skilled and low experience workers to increase their contribution to the community.
You should be able to find automated notification tools on their web offerings (or even an available api), and their physical locations can be excellent resources for developing soft connections with the proffesional community in your field.
Best of luck in your search!
