FAQs

How do I reply to CraigsList jobs? ›

Another common reason why employers don't respond to job applicants is that their application simply doesn't match the requirements for the position. Employers often receive large numbers of applications, typically shortlisting just the top 8% for interview.

Unfortunately, no such protection exists for those replying to posts. When you reply directly from Craigslist, your email address will be visible to the recipient. To reply anonymously, you need to create a free Web-based email address, which does not contain identifiable information.

Make sure the post you are responding to is still active by refreshing the page. If the recipient has opted out of the conversation, you will no longer be able to email that address. Try sending your message again with less content, fewer or no attachments, and reduced file sizes.
