So I decided to look on Craigslist as part of my job search (desperate, I know!). This is a sample of what a simple search for jobs in Washington D.C. returned.
-Chess Teachers WANTED!!!! (really? People want that?)
-Looking for Asian women for anonymous egg donation (I mean I totally would, except I would want those eggs to know who they came from)
-Hookah Guy Needed (sexist.)
-Looking for Moms Who Love to Shop and Make Money!!! (I love to shop and make money! Now all I need is a kid…)
The outlook for potential jobs got even worse when I looked at “Gigs” in D.C.
-Punching Bag (this one speaks for itself.)
-Actress for a Youtube film (LIKE OMG IM GOING TO BE FAMOUS)
-Clean Up my Hair (Really?)
-Film: Casting the Virgin Mary (I hear the Virgin Mary hangs out on free classified websites a lot)
-Models: Classy lingerie (Well as long as it’s classy…)
-Casting Call for Spoiled Girls (So many spoiled girls peruse Craigslist, so I am sure they will find someone)
But my absolute favorite has to be this guy: “GREAT SINGER SEEKIN MANAGEMENT”
Check him out!

Sounds like a lot of great leads in DC… yikes. Surprised there were no ads for “Budget cruncher needed” or “Flim-flammer econo-speak mumbo-jumbo artist needed”

Ahhh, but was there one for a lingerie-wearing Asian teacher with dirty hair that plays chess? Set the bar high..you know…lol
This post had me rolling!!

Is that U Street? I think I saw these guys filming this …
Also, how do I become a “PROFETIONAL” and learn how to speak/sing in autotune? Clearly, that’s where my job search went wrong…

Haha I love this! You probably did see them filming…I think he’s pretty much a celebrity.

haha, when i was looking for a job fresh out of university, i was searching everywhere for a job! The one thing that kept coming up on most website (even the proper agency ones) was adult film actors! Needless to say, i never got that desperate (thank god!)
Good luck with your search!
