Fragment 2 - Keeping up to date

I used search agents focusing on jobs and the telecom industry to keep up to date.

To keep up to date on the job market I set up search agents at the relevant job sites. Monster has a very good agent function, and here I defined that I was interested in these types of jobs:

• Geographical scope: Global
• Line of business: Telecommunications
• Job function: Product management, Market research, Business development, Project management

This resulted in one daily mail with relevant jobs divided into job functions. Most other job databases have similar functionality, however not so advanced.

To keep up to date on the telecommunications industry I was installing af feedreader on my computer. I used Feedreader3 but there are many other applications out there to do the same job. Then I defined I was interested in getting notifications about

• Telecommuncations/It news from relevant media
• Alerts from companies that I was espceilly interested in
• Alerts from blogs regarding subjects of special interest

This way I got a continuous update of the situation in the world about events of relavance for my job search. The feedreader uses the RSS-technology that enables an alert if changes happens on selected web pages.
