Is craigslist the ONLY SERIOUS PLACE to find jobs in this country?

Newspapers don't have nearly the job ads they did. In LA, it's like 1/10 from 6yrs ago. Monster, Career builder, are for professional level people who have degrees or training -- the rest is spammy or nation-wide ads for no place in paticular like McDonalds corperate office puts out..

SO is craigslist the only place to just find a job!?!?!?!?!Is craigslist the ONLY SERIOUS PLACE to find jobs in this country?
I agree with the links listed above. However, honestly, my best luck HAS been with Craigslist or jobs listed on career services websites of universities for students (even though I wasn't a student at those schools most of the time). I have never even heard back from jobs I applied for through Indeed or SimplyHired. I recently was offered two jobs--one I found on Craigslist and the other is a place I called and asked if they're hiring, and they gave me an e-mail address to send my resume to (pretty much every other place I called and asked if they're hiring, they said no...so I don't necessarily recommend doing that, but it's a method). I interviewed for two other jobs I found through Craigslist recently, and I didn't get one while I'm still waiting to hear from another.



There's nothing really wrong with Craigslist once you get smart about how to use it. For the most part, if a job ad doesn't leave any sort of identifying info, i.e. company name, phone number, LEGITIMATE-looking website url, fax #, legitimate-looking e-mail address...don't apply. One way I figure out if an url or e-mail add is legit is to do an internet search on it and see what comes up, i.e. if an e-mail addy is hr@hotstop.com, I google "hotstop" and the city name and see what comes up. If a legitimate url comes up or good reviews about the place come up, I apply. Once I started doing things this way, I started having a lot of luck with Craigslist.Is craigslist the ONLY SERIOUS PLACE to find jobs in this country?
