3. BEWARE
Craigslist can be a great job search resource! But watch out for scams, and protect your privacy when sharing personal information.

4. SIGNS that a JOB POST is BOGUS!
The job title is generic or vague
Hourly wage is too high or too specific ($34.23/ hour?)
Exclamation points!!! poor grammar,,, weird sentences and misspleings.
A quick response to your inquiry tells you they have reviewed your resume (when you haven’t sent it yet), leads you to another website that promises more job openings, or asks you to sign up for a web-conferencing service.

5. If you suspect bogus: Send a generic inquiry first
Search for the job title in Google
Check the website addres they give you
Never pay money for anything!
