Craigslist job posting. I'm intrigued, but I've got little red flags dancing around in my head.

As long as you don't have to pay to apply ;)
I don't like the email reply to address as it is someone's personal email box. That seems off, but still worth an email. DO NOT give too much info, SS etc.

I would do it. The red flags to me are "media" and "energetic". I have horrible visions of working round the clock for diva like bosses. But there is nothing in there about fetching coffee or picking up dry cleaning ;) It sounds great.

It doesn't hurt to try, right?

I also wanted to add that, as a buyer, I deal with some smaller companies that use Yahoo as their email accounts. I don't know the reason behind it but they are very much legit.

I applied for something like this before, but not on Craigslist. It was ligit; however, upon my phone interview, he also requires some sales. I am not a sales person and hate telemarketing. Otherwise, I think it would have been a great opportunity to work from home. If you get a phone interview, ask lots of questions. If you interview in person, make sure you are in a public setting or a ligit office building just to be on the safe side.

My DH is in the process of expanding what has been, until now, a single person business. I can totally see him doing this.
ETA: He's pretty much hired, thus far, people who are new to the field and wanting to break into it. I think it's because that's where he was 5 years ago and appreciates the enthusiasm and commitment of a "newbie".
