Yes and I also found out through experience that I had better call back rate applying through Craiglist than through Monster and other job sites.

Great tip!

I tend to cross reference to get all the info, although I don't always do it. On the job boards that require a fee to get the company info, I just take part of the job posting and put into a search. Nine times out of ten, I find the same ad for free somewhere else, usually on CL.

Yes, I actually done the same thing myself. Remember that by doing this way, your resume may not end up in the filter box if it does not fit. Also, make sure you try three different combination of the keyword phrases when you search on craigslist, just in case....

I have seen ads for something called Angies List. Does anyone know anything about that site and how it matches up to Craigs List?

Angie's list is consumer reviews of home improvement contractors, not the same thing as CL at all, by the looks of it.

I have been using craigslist for buying and selling stuff. I sometimes browse for hiring writers on craigslist and khrido but do not trust to find many from there. I post my writers positions on elance though, and get pretty good responses. It works for me as someone seeking service, but may not suit somebody offering services, because as someone pointed out earlier, bidding can go to any level.

Yes, it is definitely a buyer's market on the bidding sites like elance. It would be pretty hard to earn a living there.
