craigslist has lots of postings for jobs that actually sound legit.....

anybody use those to find temporary or fulltime jobs? any experiences?

I believe they are all paid postings. Thats how craigslist makes money. So I would guess most of them will be legit.

Depends what you're looking for. Work from home answering surveys, don't count on it being legit. Scrub pots and pans for $5.75, it's probably legit.

Previously I had received 4 job offers from companies that all had posted the job listing in CL.

And no, they are not paid postings.

Interesting. I didn't know that. I know that my boss just put up a posting for another hire. I'll check with him if he had paid for that.
