Nope. lol
I think it's safe to say that 95% of the postings on there are spam.

I get called in for interviews all the time. That's how I got my first job with benefits.

I think its crazy all you guys have apparently had success using Craigslist. When I used it a couple years ago for a summer job I couldn't even get anyone to send me back an email stating they received my inquiry.

Plenty of success, got the job I'm leaving and the new job I was offered through CL
There is plenty of spam still. I received spam from probably a third of my submissions
Im in Seattle

I've landed a job on Craigslist, but it wasn't the employment kind.

Sounds like it's highly possible, and a good source for jobs as well.
I need to step my game up.

It can't be spam, employers pay for those postings to be listed. That's how CL makes their money..

yup...you just gotta realize that anywhere from 50-300 people could be applying for one posting...if you ain't one of the first few that the recruiter thinks qualifies, you SOL...

My job prior to my current one I found there, and they paid me like 16 bucks. Most likely you'll run into spam here and there but from my experience craigslist ain't too bad.
