How Guy Kawasaki Hired from Craigslist

Picture of Lindsey Pollak

Thanks to my friend Emily McKhann of TheMotherhood.com for pointing out an interesting post by Guy Kawasaki on his “How to Change the World” blog.

In the post, Kawasaki (an early Apple Macintosh evangelist, entrepreneur, speaker and author of The Art of the Start), shares his experience hiring employees from Craigslist.org. He offers some tips on what to do (apply early, show initiative) and what not to do (paste the job listing into an email as your cover letter!).

The post also confirms that good jobs can be found on Craigslist. If Guy Kawasaki is looking for employees on the popular community website, then I wonder what other VIPs are too.
