How to Subscribe to an RSS Feed of Dave’s ESL Cafe Korean Job Feeds (with or without recruiter ads included)

Part 1 – Next Time it’s Personal

I found my current and previous job through Dave’s ESL Cafe Korean Job Board, mostly because it’s wonderful. It’s a no-nonsense thing – a page of job titles/companies, and you can click on each link to see whatever info the employer chooses to provide, all surrounded by superfluous text and ads. Beautiful and ugly at the same time.

In fact, I visited this job listing so much that, in the past, I wrote a Greasemonkey userscript to make browsing it easier by removing all of the recruiter postings from the list.  Pretty nifty, but it had its drawbacks:

1. You need Firefox + the Greasemonkey extension to make use of it
2. You have to manually download updates to the script every few weeks as new recruiting pop into existence
3. You have to manually visit the ESL Cafe Korean Job Forums to get the job listings

Now I have come up with a better solution:

But here’s the kicker: this list has already filtered out more than 115 Korean recruitment agents, and it’ll automatically filter out even more recruiters every time I update it from my secret, non-disclosed location in the Korean outback.  You don’t have to redownload anything or change anything.  Just keep checking back to your RSS feed, and keep noticing that recruiters aren’t in the list, or, if they slip in, drop me a line and I’ll disappear them.

Meanwhile, for those folks who prefer the unadulterated version of the Korean Job forums with all recruiter ads intact, I have also created a standard RSS Feed, that does zero filtering.

I’ve successfully tested both of these RSS Feeds in Google Reader, but please let me know if you have any trouble.

Happy RSSing!
