There’s one thing I can’t seem to figure out about tech company websites: why don’t they have RSS feeds for their job postings? I’m sure I’m not the only person that regularly checks the job postings for certain companies, so why can’t I do this through bloglines? It’s a simple idea really. Craigslist slams my feed reader with job postings, most of them irrelevant, so why can’t a company like Technorati send it’s own postings out this way? This way I’d find relevant posts without having to sift through the “work from home make $800 a day” crap that I get from Craigs list.
Mayber there is a reason, and maybe I’m missing the companies that do this, but I can’t seem to find the companies or the reason. Rest assured, if Lopico ever starts hiring the jobs will be posted in a feed (emphasis on the if).

Vincent - that’s alright, but not exactly what I want. I want individual companies to offer their postings from their site - that seems easiest to me if I’m looking for a job from a particular company.
