Finding a job on Craigslist

Even if you don’t use the internet that much you probably have heard of Craigslist, an online market for just about anything, but have you considered searching for employment on Craigslist. You should because if you don’t you may be missing out on some opportunities.

Craigslist was started in San Francisco in 1995 as an small online community. Over the years it has spread to all the major cities in the country. It is ranked 11th in websites with over 20 billion page views per month. Compared to other sites Craigslist has a very simple design that lists things for sale, jobs wanted, and listings of jobs, rooms to rent and also has an extensive chat line and job search forum.

Most of the jobs that you will find on Craigslist will be for small local companies which account for a large percentage of the overall employment rate in this country.

As with anything on the web be careful to check out the company thoroughly before making any commitments and make sure to have your digital resume ready as well as a cover letter to send to any potential employer.
