usajobs-feed

Script to pull recent jobs from usajobs. Running the script will print out a list of jobs it has found since you last ran the script. It will also write a YAML file with all of the jobs that it found (even the ones that were present the last time your ran the script).

Upgrade Notes

Upgrading from version 1.0 to 1.1 introduces a breaking change with the addition of the "source" field to the yaml file. To avoid having duplicate entries, remove the previous yaml file before running the updated script! Unfortunately, this will also list all entries as new in the output of the script.
