RSS stands for Really Simple Syndication. It allows you to see
jobs, news feeds or information in real time, from sites that provide
RSS as an option. On UniversalJobSearch, once you have carried out a search
for a job, you can use RSS to notify you whenever a new job that
matches your search is advertised on the site. A discrete window
appears on your desktop, a bit like a messenger window, to let you know
that a job has been advertised. You then click on the link in the
window to go straight to UniversalJobSearch to view the job.
RSS readers are freely available for download from the internet as
shareware. There are many different providers and UniversalJobSearch does
not recommend any particular reader. For more information on RSS
