WAHM Forums

Crazy or silly question to some but,have you ever known anyone who has gotten a legit WAHJjob from Craigslist? I get kind of nervous that there are a lot of scam jobs on there.

Thanks!

I have gotten a few but they were tied to local b&m companies.

I have gotten lots of jobs as well as short term gigs on craigslist -all work at home

I've gotten legit jobs from Craigslist. You just have to be REALLY careful.

I have as well........like Eclectic said, you do need to be careful. But then again that goes with anything you apply for no matter where you find it.

Personally I have never got any but I have heard of people and seen posts on these forums of people who have. Some of have got really good jobs too but as warned you do have to be really careful.

I have a fabulous job that I found on Craigslist :-)

i just recently got hired with a wahjob advertised on craig's list.
as matter of fact, i start training tomorrow. the company is flying me out for training.

Congrats Chicago1975

Ditto! Found it on CL over a year ago and still loving it! Job, boss, pay... all are great!

I have also found legit jobs from Craigslist. Although it was not a work at home job. Which are you looking for? WAHM or not? If you are looking for local jobs, I never even look at an ad that doesn't have the location displayed next to it. I've found that most of those are people looking to get your email so they can spam you. Also, beware of outrageous compensation promises. For instance, I once saw an ad for an admin assitant, entry level, starting pay $60-75K per year. Yeah, right!

HTH. Good luck in your search!

I have landed positions from Craigslists but ditto what everyone else has said about being very careful.

I found my job that I have now on Craigslist! It is a wonderful wahj and I love it. Like everyone else said, be careful; if it looks to good to be true or seems strange, it probably is. At the same time, keep in mind CL is an excellent resource!

okay what part of craiglist do you find whaj at? I check on there but there is no link for it specifically, do you have to do a search on it?
thanks in advance.

My legit job came from craigslist. I think. lol

There are lots of great jobs on craigslist, especially short-term gigs. But you've got to watch out for the occasional scammer. Because they're definitely out there. smileys/smiley5.gif

I got my part time wahj on cl. All I do is computer work..no phones at all! It took forever to find a legit one but I responded to everything I saw and eventually it paid off http://www.wahm.com/forum/smileys/smiley4.gif

Good luck on your search!

I have found 3 non phone jobs through craigslist. We post a ton of leads from there every day on our site. You do run into the occasional scam but the majority are great. Edited by: kimadhd

How do you guys find the jobs on craiglist to work from home. I go on there all the time and there is no link to wahj. smileys/smiley13.gif

You have to search under certain keywords

I have a hard time locating wah jobs on craigslist also...it takes forever.

Right now I have 2 wah jobs (non-phone) that came from craigslist adds...both well known companies and very legit.

I cheat though...I go to www.workathomemafia.com (http://www.workathomemafia.com) and check their job posts out...they post tons from craigslist and that is where I have found the two jobs I have.

Good Luck!!!

Not sure if this is the easiest way to do it, but here's how I would find wahj on craigslist:

Start by picking your city, then click on the "jobs" link (you can click on the word "job" itself to get all the postings instead of selecting a specific occupation area if you want).

Then once you get to the next page, you'll see the search box where you can search for keywords. Underneath it there is a box called "telecommute". Just check the box and you should be all set!

Since (obviously) wahj are done remotely, you don't have to limit yourself to just your city. You can also repeat this process for other cities. (Try the big ones first!)

Hope that helps! smileys/smiley1.gif

thank you liz :)

man I wish there was a easier way to search cl for wahj jobs. Since you could possibly work out of any location.
