Setting a cron job to run less than a minute

is there a way to set a cron job (without creating a script) to run every 30 seconds?

In a word, no. Cron's minimum resolution is 1 minute. The typical way to do this is to put sleeps within a script and let the script itself loop.
If it ain't broke, I can fix that.
