I recently started looking for an iOS artist to work with and I posted a job ad on Craiglist and Kijiji, for the first time.

I was overwhelmed with the response - I mean I knew there was alot of people using Craigslist but I had no idea of the scope. And the spam. I even had people submitting me their resumes who had nothing to do with what I was looking for. Needless to say, I was quite surprised by amount of response I've gotten.

It was definitely insightful to sit on the other 'end', even for a day, to try and make sense of all these resumes, to read through the greeting emails / copy+paste jobs. It was only a glimpse but it was an interesting experience.

Now I'm not advocating people to start creating fake job ads to see what it's like…
