Bookmarklet for any web browser: How to remove 90%+ of recruiter ads on Dave’s ESL Cafe

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 you need Firefox + the Greasemonkey extension to make use of it.

Now here’s an even easier way to do it in any web browser!

1. Simply Bookmark this in any web browser: ESL Cafe: Remove Recruiter Job Ads
   (I suggest you put it in your browser’s bookmarks bar, if you use that)
2. Navigate to the ESL Cafe Korean Job Board
3. Use the bookmark you made in Step 1.

You will see, instead of navigating you away from the Korean Job Board, that the job board has actually changed.  Whereas there were job postings from recruiters scattered throughout it before, now they are all gone.

Happy Job Browsing!
