Why is my CareerBuilder job listed in Burlington MA?! It is supposed to be in Camden NJ!
May 13, 2009
When specifying a job, there are four different location fields that can be listed with information:
- City
- State/Province
- Country
- Postal Code/Zip Code
For example the following information could be sent in a job posting to CareerBuilder:
<Field name="CBCity" value="Camden" />
<Field name="CBState" value="NJ" />
<Field name="CBCountry" value="US" />
<Field name="CBUSZip5" value="01803" />
When job location data is parsed by CareerBuilder, the zip code value will take precendence over the city/state pairing.
But as it turns out, the zip code value of 01803 is not Camden, NJ. It is Burlington MA.
The poster accidentally transposed the 2nd and 3rd digits of the zip code.
Had they passed 08103 as the zip code value, the job would have appeared on CB where it was expected.
