Looking for a new job in higher ed? Receive the latest job postings via Twitter, RSS, Email and the Web

I’ve taken some time this afternoon to set up something that is going to simplify your life if you’re actively looking for a new position in higher ed or just want to make sure you won’t miss your dream job one day.

As you might know, I launched in early July a free job board, www.higheredexperts.com/work, just for you (well, thousands of you, my dear readers, but still for you ;-)

This is a free service I wanted to provide to the higher ed community as it has given me so much over the past few years.

Since things have started to pick up with a few ads posted every week or so, I think it’s time to promote it more widely to job seekers, which is why I’ve been doing some tinkering this afternoon to offer several ways for you to receive the new job postings depending on your style and needs:

• Want to know about the latest postings within the hour they are posted on the job board?
  Follow @higheredexperts on Twitter. Thanks to twitterfeed (and Brad Ward’s tip), this is totally automated.
• Want to browse all the job listings in your favorite RSS reader?
  Subscribe to the RSS feed powered by Feedburner and you won’t miss a bit.
• You’re more an email-kind of person?
  No problem. You can subscribe to daily (that is only if something has been posted) updates thanks to Feedburner. The email message is usually sent before 9AM ET.
• You just want to be able to see the latest job ads by checking out your favorite blog?
  Well, in this case, there are 2 possibilities, right?
  • THIS blog is your favorite blog.
    Just check out the sidebar on the blog and you’ll see the 5 latest postings
  • You are a blogger yourself (which is the only reason why this one wouldn’t be your favorite, right ;-) and you want to check the latest jobs on YOUR blog.
    Just email me at karine@collegewebeditor.com and I’ll share the HTML/Javascript code of the widget powered by Feedburner (did I mention I love Feedburner?) I used on my sidebar.

I hope you’ll find in all these options something that works for you.

Now, can I ask you a favor to help me make the Higher Ed Experts’ job board a success?

Take 2 minutes today to tell your institution’s hiring managers or HR department about it, share its web address: www.higheredexperts.com/work on your favorite email listservs (well, check first that nobody has already done it) or even blog about it.

It’s free to post jobs, and – as you know now – easy to subscribe to receive updates.

Thanks for your help!
