Consider this as, part of html code that is available

<a id = "xyz" onclick= "abc" href="#" title = "View this job description"> Associate

</a>

</span>

In my spider file ,

item["title"] = hs.xpath(".//span[@class = 'titlelink']/a/").extract() gives me the output

where as

item["title"] = hs.xpath(".//span[@class = 'titlelink']/a/text()").extract() results in empty list.

and .extract() is not giving all the list of the values available it only returns one value.
