looking on craigslist.com everyday, havent found anything so far that will cover all the bills. -- nm - Stacy Jul 22, 14:20 50
- I think just taking any job would give you momentum. maybe take a couple of part-time jobs and keep looking? - safari for windows *loves* mandy lane Jul 22, 14:23 10
  - i'm all for that, when jobs are available. - b. Jul 22, 14:30
  - Listen to the smart lady. -- nm - mara Jul 22, 14:27 4
    - Listen to your friend mandy zane, she's a smart dude. -- nm - Hansel Jul 22, 14:30
    - (Ooops, does that sound snarky? Didn't mean it that way.) -- nm - mara Jul 22, 14:30 2
      - only if you would have added - con_carne Jul 22, 14:33
      - Didn't to me. -- nm - Subversive Jul 22, 14:30
  - Agreed. Long stretches of unemployment look bad on a resume. -- nm - con_carne Jul 22, 14:27
  - *dingdingdingding*!!! -- nm - Dr.Vermin Jul 22, 14:25
  - agreed. -- nm - znufrii Jul 22, 14:25
  - exactly, one thing often leads to another... -- nm - Andie Jul 22, 14:25
- shit, i've been at this job for almost five years and I'm not even sure *I* can cover all my bills every month. -- nm - TFox Jul 22, 14:22
- I don't say this to be mean...but seriously? Looking for jobs on craigslist? - Stephen Jul 22, 14:21 35
  - yes -- nm - Pippy Loves Scotty Jul 22, 14:33
  - Surprisingly, in big metro areas that *is* a viable source for locating work. - TWuG Jul 22, 14:24 1
    - My company (1000+ employees) uses CL for a substantial number of our new hires. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Jul 22, 14:27
  - It's a legit source, from what I hear. -- nm - con_carne Jul 22, 14:24
  - Wow ... um, yeah. People do this a LOT. How do you think Craigslist got so big? - Beryllium Jul 22, 14:24 19
    - I can't get rid of my PS2 on it apparently though. -- nm - Qale Jul 22, 14:27 1
      - I've been trying to sell my PS2 on kijiji for 2 months with hardly a sniff. -- nm - Subversive Jul 22, 14:29
    - Let me put it this way, imho, there's no way i'm looking for a job on a site where I can also get a "date" for the night. - Stephen Jul 22, 14:27 13
      - Well, to millions of other users, it sure as fuck DOES get considered as reputable. - Beryllium Jul 22, 14:34 1
        
        take a deep breath man. - Stephen Jul 22, 14:39
      - Huh. It's a pretty basic resource for all kinds of stuff here. - con_carne Jul 22, 14:32
      - same would be true of a newspaper, wouldn't it? -- nm - loosilu Jul 22, 14:28 9
        
        I don't know, do newspapers run ads with explicit ads for "services?" - Stephen Jul 22, 14:31 8
        
        Pretty much all of them, yes. - Reagen Jul 22, 14:36
        
        We'll take anything you want to pay for, at this point. -- nm - Classified Dept. Jul 22, 14:34
        
        Yes, actually. -- nm - nubby, Astronauts champion Jul 22, 14:33 1
        
        Really? With explicit photos and everything? - Stephen Jul 22, 14:36
        
        plenty of them do. -- nm - Andie Jul 22, 14:32
        
        depends on the newspaper. - znufrii Jul 22, 14:32
        
        Do you purchase books from Amazon? They sell sex toys, too. -- nm - TWuG Jul 22, 14:32 1
        
        Yes, well i'm not looking for a job on Amazon now am I? - Stephen Jul 22, 14:33
    - Stalkers looking for new victims .... and crappy furniture. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 22, 14:24 2
      - well, yes, that too. :P - Beryllium Jul 22, 14:25 1
        
        Probably by drug runners looking for an easy distribution hub. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 22, 14:25
  - i don't think she *shouldn't" check craigslist, but it should damn well not be her primary source. -- nm - Andie Jul 22, 14:23 1
    - also looking on monster.com and the SF Chronicle online. -- nm - Stacy Jul 22, 14:24
  - depends on the city. some cities have extremely active jobs sites on CL. - TFox Jul 22, 14:23 3
    - they also charge for real estate listings in NYC, iirc. -- nm - znufrii Jul 22, 14:25 2
      - oh, maybe it's real estate and not jobs. i dunno. either way, subby's right: not a sole source. -- nm - TFox Jul 22, 14:26 1
        
        iirc the first thing they charged for was jobs in San Fran, followed by real estate in NYC - znufrii Jul 22, 14:27
  - Ask me about my weeeiner!!! -- nm - Qale Jul 22, 14:23
  - depends on what you're looking for, and where. - znufrii Jul 22, 14:22 3
    - Mafia Wars expert? -- nm - Beaker Jul 22, 14:23
    - But as your *only* resource? -- nm - Subversive Jul 22, 14:23 1
      - conceded -- nm - TFox Jul 22, 14:23
- Your job hunting strategy involves searching *one* website every day? -- nm - Subversive Jul 22, 14:21
- some of the bills ? nm -- nm - groiny Jul 22, 14:21
