Jim in Anchorage Posted August 30, 2012 Author 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. Babe's have bonus points
Jim in Anchorage Posted August 31, 2012 Author 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? Edited August 31, 2012 by Jim in Anchorage
NoSaint Posted August 31, 2012 Posted August 31, 2012 Hey- we didn't just get the email, but his phone too! How is he not cursing us for prank calls?!?!?
DC Tom Posted August 31, 2012 Posted August 31, 2012 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? In six weeks it'll be polar ice cap again anyway...
Jim in Anchorage Posted August 31, 2012 Author Posted August 31, 2012 Hey- we didn't just get the email, but his phone too! How is he not cursing us for prank calls?!?!? Booster is gone. He'd be throwing rocks at my front window, calling me out to fight.
drinkTHEkoolaid Posted August 31, 2012 Posted August 31, 2012 Off topic but how did you end up in Alaska?
Jim in Anchorage Posted August 31, 2012 Author Posted August 31, 2012 Off topic but how did you end up in Alaska? Alcan highway.
Jim in Anchorage Posted August 31, 2012 Author Posted August 31, 2012 Boy, that is quite the dead end!!! :-) Indeed it is. Nothing but mountains from here East to Calgery.
drinkTHEkoolaid Posted August 31, 2012 Posted August 31, 2012 Alcan highway. Lol...any specific reason? Career? Love the outdoors? Hiding from a crazy ex ?
Jim in Anchorage Posted August 31, 2012 Author 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
EDinRTP Posted August 31, 2012 Posted August 31, 2012 I once sold a car at a garage sale...so you never know. Do like Craigslist alot...especially for buying and selling tickets.

Yes I have to spend most of a day weeding out junk, but I have a nice pool of applicants to chose from. Babe's have bonus points I was just pointing out that I prefer to hire someone that at least had the motivation to get off their !@#$ing computer and put on a pair of pants.
The Poojer Posted August 31, 2012 Posted August 31, 2012 that's pretty cool and very ballsy! Alaska is all. No fences, no roads,no "private ranch-transpass fee."

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.
Chef Jim Posted August 31, 2012 Posted August 31, 2012 Damn I wish I had the cajones to do that. Kudos to you sir. Pfffft. That's nothing. I moved to CA as a newly married 22 year old.
Jim in Anchorage Posted August 31, 2012 Author Posted August 31, 2012 Well first two lookers want it . But I still have a whole day ahead of me with appointments. I hate letting people down. That's a tough phone call to make.
Just Jack Posted August 31, 2012 Posted August 31, 2012 Well first two hookers want it . But I still have a whole day ahead of me with appointments. I hate letting people down. That's a tough phone call to make. fixed
Jim in Anchorage Posted August 31, 2012 Author Posted August 31, 2012 fixed That would make the decision much easier.
PromoTheRobot Posted September 1, 2012 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. PTR
