RSS Feeds allow you to stay on top of what's going on at Cool Works. Keep track of your favorite job types and states as well as thousands (millions?) of other great 'syndicated' web sites out there.

What is a Feed?

An RSS newsfeed (or just feed) allows you to subscribe to any of the page on our site using a 'feed reader.' If you want to keep track of all the jobs and employers posted on Cool Works, subscribe to the What's New feed. Interested in jobs in Montana? Grab the Montana feed. You can also track our Tips and Tales blog, the discussion forums an most other pages on our site.

How do I Subscribe?

First you need some kind of 'feed reader' (also called an 'aggregator' or a 'news reader') which is just a program you use to keep track of all your feeds. My Yahoo, My MSN, Bloglines, and Rojo are FREE web based readers. Newsgator, FeedDemon, and many other free and commercial readers are available.

 

On our site, we denote pages that have feeds available with the RSS icon RSS Feed. Depending on how your feed reader works, you may need to do different things to get the feed into your feed reader. Right click the icon and chose 'Subscribe to this feed' is a good guess.

 

Now every time we add a new employer or update the page, you'll see the changes in your feed reader!

What Feeds are Available from Cool Works?

Are there any other cool feeds Out There?

TONS of them! Many sites offer feeds of their content. You can subscribe to your favorite job hunting resources, comic strips, news sites, shopping sites, search results, calendars, pictures, package tracking, weather, and keep track of them all from one place (your feed reader)!
