Jobs – Craigslist

This is short comment regarding job postings on Craigslist. People (especially recruiters) post jobs on Craigslist. I have posted for a few positions, and also have posted items to sell or give away and also work wanted listings. The most replies I get to any listing, is, without a doubt spam! I get reply’s telling me that I can stop selling the family herilooms (outgrown coats, old VCR’s – Whatever) and start doing the business they are doing. I have never actually clicked on the link (this tends to give the credit to the spammer anyway). Work related posts tend to be ” click here to earn 1000/week! Guaranteed”. I like Craigslist so much for the business model and the fact that it is free. However, the spam potential is phenomenal. I also note that this is a prime candidate for freelance people who are hired to do just this type of work, entering craigslist postings throughout multiple sites. Kind of just makes you want to say ” where are the real jobs out there?” and ” here is the newest schemes (pyramid or otherwise) where people are making money taking advantage of the system.”
