def parse(self, response):
    pages = response.xpath('//ul[@class="pagination"][last()-1]/a/text()').extract()
    page = 1
    start = 0
    while page <= pages:
        url = "http://www.go-on.fi/tyopaikat?start="+str(start)
        start += 20
        page += 1
        yield Request(url, callback=self.parse_page)

        item['link'] = row.select("./td[1]/a/@href").extract()
        items.append(item)
