Jobeet - Day 16: Web Services
When you post a job, you will want to have the greatest exposure possible. If your job is syndicated on a lot of small websites, you will have a better chance to find the right person. That's the power of the long tail. Affiliates will be able to publish the latest posted jobs on their websites thanks to the web services we will develop today.
Jobeet - Day 15: Feeds
If you are looking for a job, you will probably want to be informed as soon as a new job is posted. And it is not very convenient to check the website every other hour. To keep our Jobeet users up-to-date, we will add several job feeds today.
