Hey everyone,
As a job seeker, I've found that a lot of jobs are "silo'd" in individual companies websites. This is especially prevalent in local/state government jobs, with a seperate job site for every council (some advertise on Seek, but not all).
So, I've been working on something for the past few months now. It's called WorkLife and it lives here: http://worklife.azurewebsites.net/. It scrapes, at the moment, one job website for the QLD Government, but I will be adding more job sites soon.
It's designed to make searching and finding a job as easy and as painless as possible. It does this by a keyword search - you just throw a word in and the listings that don't contain that phrase will go away.
This is probably only useful in Queensland at the moment, as SmartJobs is only for the Queensland Government. By all means though, suggest some more sites to scrape if you want to.
The site should be self explanitory, but here are a few things:
- On mobile, tap the "pencil" down the bottom right to slide out the menu. You can filter by level, location, or employer.
- As you browse jobs, if you see one you like, tap "Add to list" to favorite it. When you're done, open the menu and email the list to a specified email address.
Like I said, really early preview, so things might (will probably) break. For sure, suggest improvements if you can think of any.
It's my first foray with doing something like this, so any feedback is welcome. And if you find a job that you'd apply for on the site, let me know! It's good to know when your stuff is working :)
Cool stuff, why not put a vanity domain over it instead of keeping the Azure hostname?
