📡 RSS Job Tracking System¶

RSS lets you receive job postings instantly at the moment they are published, without manually checking websites.

Think of it as:

A real-time job “data stream” directly into your feed.

🎯 Core Idea¶

Most candidates:

• search jobs manually ❌
• refresh LinkedIn daily ❌

Top candidates:

• receive jobs automatically ⚡
• apply earlier than 80–90% of applicants
