I had an interesting experience with one Craigslist position today. It required no text in the body of the email and specific file name templates for the CV and the cover letter. I think the instructions, which were at the bottom of the announcement, were a filter to see how many applicants actually read the announcements in their entirety.

I have no idea what the salary range is, but I have the experience the position required (and the ability to read and comprehend), so I applied.

I need out of my current job.

After a talk with

siderea last night, it became clear that I need to get out as soon as I can. So.

I will every Sunday until I have a new job, post the previous week's job applications (just a number publicly). The goal is five a week.

Even though it's only Wednesday, I have managed five applications this week, thanks to

siderea scouring Craigslist DC while we were on the phone to get the ball rolling.

In fairness, I had already put in one application on Monday.
