Craigslist Postergirl Wannabe Takes the Written Exam

(Blue Books handed out)

Reaching into the bag to pull out a pencil...well, that one kind of has a dull tip. Maybe a pen? No, too messy...my 'Prozac' pen is good, though, because it's rollerball...yeah, I'll use my 'Prozac' pen.

(Opening Blue Book)

"1) Question: Describe IN DETAIL why you believe you are qualified for the position of Craigslist Postergirl, what makes "A Good 'Girl," and how you would expect to spend your time if appointed."

I believe that I am qualified to be a Craigslist Postergirl for several reasons.

A: I recently moved here from the Midwest. I am aware that to some graders this might disqualify me immediately. However, I believe that this fact actually makes me a more competitive candidate. Most notably, as I went through the moving process, a distant family member who lives in Noe Valley told me about CL. She indicated it would be very helpful to find a place to live if I wanted to live in the City. Sure enough, I found a one bedroom apartment on CL, and summarily moved in. I know that Craigslist was not responsible for the lame decision I made regarding price, as, after all, I was a stupid out of towner.

B: Next, while I had a good job (I did NOT find this job on Craigslist, an oversight soon to be corrected, without my knowledge), I needed a man. I am a modern woman, 30 years old, not ugly or bitter, but still felt incomplete due to social conditioning. I then posted an ad under W4M. While I did indeed suffer through at least 20 vague or explicit emailed references to wanker size, one email shone through the haze. We have now been dating for 5 months, and are talking about being together on a permanent basis. And, we moved in together, which corrected 'A' above. (Did I say he is a lovely man? ;) )

C: When I moved in under schedule 'B' above, I moved into my man's one bedroom apartment. This left us with 2X too much stuff. Therefore, we posted under 'Garage Sale'. Results of the garage sale: $600, and the satisfaction of more space. This means CL was responsible for generating space wheretofore there was none.

D: Related to B and C above, I was terminated from my job that I did not find on CL. I immediately turned to CL 1) for support on the job forum, and 2) to find a job. I did find a job, and started work last week. OK, so it's not in my field, but, again, one can only expect a few miracles a day from CL.

(shakes hand, due to cramp)

E: I think a good Postergirl would obviously have direct experience, preferably life changing experience, with CL. I, as you can see, have had life-changing experiences. The job I currently have could take me off in a new and exciting direction, one that I hadn't thought about prior to my layoff. And I'm sure I don't have to explain to the 30 year old females the bizarre relief that comes knowing that you could pass on your genetic material should you choose to, due to the recent muting of my bioclock.

F: If selected, I think I would spend my time trying to convince others of 1) the miracle of CL, and 2) that the Internet can truly change your life. I have seen many people post ads looking for that right person and I want to tell people that it can happen.

G: And if you select me, I'll invite you all to our wedding.

(Checking watch) --eep, running out of time

Thank you for this opportunity to apply to be your Postergirl. I am available on a part time basis currently, but would be willing to consider full time if offered, as my current job doesn't allow me the opportunity to spread miracles everyday.
