I need a job.

But not just any job. Ideally a job at a cool company that treats remote workers as first class citizens.

The good news is there are a lot of them out there. The bad news is checking their job pages manually is a real drag.

So I decided to automate it a bit.

My bash scripting skills are super rusty so I decided to see what I could google. I found the following script which looked promising here:

#!/bin/bash
keywords="$(<./keywords.txt)"
while IFS= read -r url; do
    curl -L -s "$url" | grep -ioF "$keywords"
	while IFS= read -r keyword; do
	    echo "$url: $keyword"
	done
done < ./url_list.txt

I added the position descriptions I'm looking for to keywords.txt file and added the list of companies I am interested in to url_list.txt file.

Then run the script from the command-line:

./url_search.sh | uniq -u

Companies with positive matches will list in the terminal. Pick the ones you are interested and check out their websites. Easy peasy lemon squeezy.
