RSS (Really Simple Syndication) lets you receive updates whenever a website publishes new content. If a job portal or company careers page supports RSS, you can track new openings without manually checking the website every day.
Note: Many modern job platforms no longer provide public RSS feeds. In those cases, use their built-in email or mobile job alerts instead.

Should You Use RSS?
RSS is helpful if you:
- Prefer tracking updates in one place.

For most students, job alerts on LinkedIn, Naukri, Wellfound, and company career pages are more useful than RSS.
