Jim in Anchorage Posted August 30, 2012 Author Share Posted August 30, 2012 Reason why i tend to interview people from career fairs vs people applying via Monster/Career Builder. Sure, I'll throw a apartment for rent fair complete with clowns and free hot dogs. Yes I have to spend most of a day weeding out junk, but I have a nice pool of applicants to chose from.

Jim in Anchorage Posted August 31, 2012 Author Share Posted August 31, 2012 (edited) Checked Google Streetview..... mow the lawn! Oh, and can I park a truck there even if I don't live there? That's flat out spooky, Yes that's my place, that blue truck to the right is mine. Screw the lawn, my back hurts and the tenets keep paying. Whats the harm?

Jim in Anchorage Posted August 31, 2012 Author Share Posted August 31, 2012 Lol...any specific reason? Career? Love the outdoors? Hiding from a crazy ex ? Alaska is all. No fences, no roads,no "private ranch-transpass fee." Some thing very few people see- a river valley with no development, no roads or even trails, full of wild salmon and wolves and bears. That's why I drove my truck here 17 years ago with no job offer or knowing anyone. And here I still am Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh and Craigslist really is the best. I took an old chain link fence down a couple years ago to replace it with a wood fence. I just wanted to get rid of the fence, threw it up on craigslist and recieved 9 calls in the first 5 hours. Fence was gone the next day and I had $200 in my pocket..... was just going to throw it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PromoTheRobot Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 I put a ad in for a apartment I am renting at 11:58 last night[that puts it at the top of that day's page] Here it is noon next day and I pulled the ad. 20+ calls. Yet people still pay $100's for newspaper ads no one reads. Why? Craigslist is directly responsible for half the papers in the country that shut down.
