You'd have better luck standing out on the street with a cardboard sign.

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
