Is the Job on Craigslist Legitimate?

RE: Is the Job on Craigslist Legitimate? Post By bailegirl (Guest Post) (01/22/2008) Never, Never, Never apply for a job, or respond to a prize that asks for money up front as a "Processing fee" or other such term. I am an agent for Western Union, and this is one of the biggest things that they tell us to watch for. Please save your money and research a real job. Good Luck!

No legitimate company ever charges a potential employee a hiring fee. Even when a company uses an agency such as a temp one, there aren't any up-front fees. No money is paid until the hiring company is satisfied with the employee that the agency sent. RE: Is the Job on Craigslist Legitimate?

RE: Is the Job on Craigslist Legitimate? Post by Jantoo (585) | (01/21/2008) Contact I've found it's really hard to find a legitimate work-at-home job on the internet. The last one I had was a research job that paid so little I couldn't afford to keep it. I'd suggest you make something creative and sell it on ebay. Or call your local technical school and ask their computer teacher about possible jobs. Or check websites for large, reputable companies. Maybe they have something. RE: Is the Job on Craigslist Legitimate? Post by gidget10 (2) | (01/19/2008) Contact I agree. No real job I've ever heard of requires you to pay them to become an employee. I would let this one go. Although I wouldn't discontinue checking Craigslist. They can be a very valuable resource, but just like any other paper,classified ad or etc. cannot gaurantee the validity of it's ads. Good Luck!

I say ditch this place, it doesn't sound on the "up and up" to me at all.
