Craigslist Scam ...

How many out of work people are going to fall for this one?
Highly intelligent, resourceful individual with exceptional communication skills needed to provide support for one of Wall Street’s most successful entrepreneurs. Primary responsibilities include coordinating schedule and travel, answering phones, and general office help.

We welcome applications from writers, musicians, artists, or other candidates who may be pursuing other professional goals in the balance of their time. We offer a casual atmosphere in a beautiful space, working as part of an extraordinary group of gifted, interesting individuals.

The salary range is $90-$110K per year (depending on qualifications), with significant upside potential and management possibilities.

Please email your resume and compensation history to: eacraigslist@spsfind.com

Going to be honest ... I was tempted as $90K-$110K doesn't sound so bad for a year while I get my b-school applications together, but apparently this has been going around since 2004

Not a hoax. If you don't hear back it's because you're not qualified.

Answering phones usually results in management possibilities.

I don't understand what kind of hoax this would be. Do you send in your resume and get prank-called for life? Are they building up a valuable database of starving artists who sure would like to earn six figures in their day job?

it's not a hoax- it's for DE Shaw. they like artsy (yes, "hipster") kids who are not finance oriented. it's to support one of the founders and he is in no rush to find the approp fit....u need to have >1350 SATs (they dont care that you've been out of college over 2 yrs and did all sorts of more imp stuff than the SATs- they're all abt standardized tests)...
