Second one looks legit. First one, not so much.

I concur. Second one legit. First one? Sounds like that cell phone number you can text a question to and they send you the answer. I have seen commercials for it but can't remember the number.

I agree, with a job range of 6-10/hour considering minimum wage is more than 6/hour would be a tip off.

It would not hurt to ask the first one for more information. However, if they indicate that you have to pay for training then it is a scam.

 

[crazelion]

Thanks for all your help. I apply to the second one because it look legit. The first one second odd.

I think the majority of jobs posted on craigslist are scams to get your name and address. My son had applied to several and never heard from any of them. If they sound too good like paying an extravagant amount of money then they are a scam. Good Luck though!!

Sorry one more thing! If you send your resume I would suggest erasing your address from it.

I found my job through Craigslist. I only applied to ones that listed a phone number that was in the area I was searching or listed name of company. Good luck on job hunt.
