We had a quick exchange of comments over at widgetBeat a couple of weeks ago, following their review of the SimplyHired widget. During the comments, the thought of a job search mashup widget proved interesting. After finding some spare time, we were able prototype a functional widget. While the widget is mostly functional, it is more of a prototype and academic exercise than anything else. Keep that in mind if you choose to use this widget.

The jobFinder Widget is a mashup of 3 different services.

• indeed
• nPost
• simply|hired

Searches are run against each of the services and the results are displayed in the widget.

Click on a job title to view a summary of the position. For more details from the source site, click on the “more details” button and a new page will open with the complete listing.

Whenever someone grabs the widget for themselves they will have the opportunity to set the size and default search criteria for their widget.

As always, feedback and comments are welcomed.

This is a bit old, but in case you haven’t seen it yet, it’s a great sketch staring the internet. The characterizations of Google, YouTube, Amazon, Digg, eBay, MySpace, Facebook and others are spot on, which makes this video as funny as it is. Enjoy and have a great weekend…
