marce asked:


i’m advertising my services as a nanny/babysitter/child caretaker on craigslist, and i was wonder what category y’all thought i should advertise it under?
i was thinking service offered rather than job offered.. ??
under service offered there are the following categories to post in:

Please choose a category:

* automotive services

* beauty services

* computer services

* creative services

* event services

* farm garden services

* financial services

* household services

* labor moving

* legal services

* lessons tutoring

* pet services

* real estate services

* skilled trade services

* small biz ads

* therapeutic services (non-erotic)

* travel/vacation services

* writing/editing/translation

obvious i wouldn’t advertise in like say automotive or something haha, but of the related categories, which do you think would be best?

thanksssss :D

Would you want to work for an employer who says right out that they won’t respect you?

This employer is basically stating the truth in the ad. It is exactly like saying, Don’t expect a good employment situation at all because I part of the problem is me. Who would want to work for such a jerk? Why does the employer consciously decide she will be a jerk in the first place? She has decided that she will be a jerk and won’t even consider working on her attitude. She doesn’t have to be a jerk. She chooses to be one. That’s the crazy part.
