FAQs

How do I reply to Craigslist jobs? ›

To respond to a job listing on Craigslist you must email the poster. You can navigate to the email from the job posting. In your email, you should introduce yourself, express your interest in the job, and briefly touch on the skills, experience, and qualifications that you possess.

Legitimate job postings typically include detailed information about the hiring company, such as its name, website, and contact information. Verify the company's details and research its reputation online.

Dear Hiring Manager: I am writing in response to your job posting on [location of advertisem*nt] for a [job title]. After reading your job description, I am confident that my skills and my passion for _____________ are a perfect match for this position. I would welcome the opportunity to discuss this position with you.

To reply to a Craigslist post, just click the reply button. To use your device's default email app, select the first link. Otherwise, select the web-based email you use (like Gmail or Yahoo) or copy and paste the email address at the bottom of the window into a new email manually.

Unfortunately, no such protection exists for those replying to posts. When you reply directly from Craigslist, your email address will be visible to the recipient. To reply anonymously, you need to create a free Web-based email address, which does not contain identifiable information.

It is best never to trust someone on Craigslist fully to avoid the risks of encountering a scam. However, certain signs can suggest whether the person is a genuine buyer or seller. Most Craigslist scammers will not agree to meet in person. Instead, even local sellers will prefer shipping.

Let's state the obvious: ideally, you should apply to a job listing within a week or two of the posting. Being one of the first to get your name and resume in front of a recruiter's eye will only be beneficial to you. After all, a report from Brazen found that 43% of job openings are filled during the first 30 days.

If you are still interested in the position, answer in the affirmative. Then inquire if they are asking because they have some additional positions opening up. Ask for another interview in regards to those new, upcoming postings. Tell them that you would like very much to be considered for those new positions.

How do I say I am interested in the job? ›

"I'm honestly looking forward to working with this company." "You all seem like a great team, and I'd be honored to work with you." "I'm very interested in the job, but do you have any concerns as to how well I can perform?"

You can reply to any post on Craigslist — just click the "reply" button at the top left of a post, and complete the Captcha puzzle if you're asked to. Some Craigslist listings will offer a phone contact to call or text, though most listings will only offer an email contact.

Once you're ready to accept or decline the offer, do so in writing. If you've already accepted over the phone, follow up with an email. In the email, confirm the details of the offer and note when you'll start the job.

Click "contact us" under the general help section. Select the type of issue you are reporting to the Craigslist administrators. If you've come across a fraudulent posting, select "flagging, terms of use (TOU) violations, scams" or "personal harassment." A dropdown list will appear.
