Social network requirement in Craigslist posting

Comments

I found an entertaining craigslist posting today for a room in Nob Hill. It does the usual thing in terms of describing the place, but then it says:

Please bring a “resume” with the following information:

- age

- job/company

- college graduated

- town you grew up in

- current city you live in

- why you are moving from your current residence

- what you do with your free time

- frequency at home

An attached photo helps put a face with a name after the open house.


Also please include myspace, friendster, or facebook url. If your site is protected, then please un-protect it.

Somehow, while the "resume" seems invasive, the inclusion of a full social network profile seems even more so?

  • you looking to move Andrew?


    this is of course ridiculous.. and exactly the problem companies like Trustpl.us are trying to tackle.

  • I like how the title is "Male or Female needed"... because they don't want to be discrimatory!
