Fashion Job Feeds
Fashion Jobs — RSS feeds containing fashion industry employment listings, and how job seekers followed them
Fashion Job Feeds are RSS feeds containing fashion industry employment listings. Instead of checking a jobs page again and again for new postings, a job seeker subscribes once and the new listings arrive in a feed reader as they are published. The category-by-category directory of the feeds that were published from the Clothing Industry Jobs website is on the Clothing Industry Jobs - RSS Feeds page; this page explains how RSS works and how the feeds were used.
What Is RSS?
RSS ("Really Simple Syndication") is a way to be notified of new content on a Web site, thus avoiding the need to revisit to check if new content has been added. Users add RSS feeds to their feed readers and newly added content appears in the feed reader whenever it is posted on the Web site. Seeing how users usually subscribe to multiple feeds, the feed reader is an aggregator that allows the user to read all of their feeds from one convenient spot.
RSS feeds are streams of data that offer a list of articles on a site or section of a site and update whenever new, relevant information appears online. Through the use of a news reader or Live Bookmark that processes RSS feeds, you can view headlines and article excerpts from multiple sources, all in one place.
Following Fashion Jobs by Feed
For a job search, that aggregator pattern is the point: subscribe to the feed for each job category you are targeting — designer jobs, buyer jobs, retail jobs and so on — and every new listing in those categories collects in one spot alongside your other feeds, ready to scan each morning. The feed carries the headline and an excerpt; the full listing itself stays on the jobs site, one click away. When a promising opening appears, preparation decides the application: learn how to find jobs in the fashion industry before you start applying.

More Ways to Follow Fashion Employment
Feeds were one route to new listings; the Apparel Search employment section offers the others. The Fashion Industry Job Descriptions explain what each fashion role actually involves, the Fashion Jobs Indeed page collects the general job search engines that carry fashion openings, and the Fashion News Feeds apply the same RSS idea to fashion news rather than jobs.
Common Questions
What is RSS, in plain terms?
RSS — Really Simple Syndication — is a way to be notified of new content on a website without revisiting it to check. You add a site's RSS feed to a feed reader, and newly posted content appears in the reader as it is published. Because most users subscribe to several feeds, the reader works as an aggregator: all of your feeds, readable from one convenient spot.
How did fashion job feeds deliver new listings?
Each feed was a stream of data listing the newest items in its category, updating whenever new relevant listings appeared online. Through a news reader or a Live Bookmark that processes RSS feeds, you could view the headlines and excerpts of new fashion job postings from multiple categories in one place, then click through to the full listing.
Where is the actual list of fashion job feeds?
On the Clothing Industry Jobs - RSS Feeds page linked from this page: it records the most recent listings feed and the 35 category feeds, the subscribe routes each row offered, and the terms of use. That listing is historical — Apparel Search sold the Clothing Industry Jobs website in October 2012 and the feeds are no longer under its control.
