		<description><![CDATA[If you feel the need to use Craigslist to find work, get ready to battle through the garbage and realize that you're probably not going to see all of the good listings.  Recognize it for what it is--a flawed place to find a job.  Maybe you can be an exception to the rule.

Generally speaking, it makes more sense to find work elsewhere.  I, for one, am not interested in walking through a minefield to get something I can find somewhere else.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Cut this zombie's head off, people. Don't write custom â€œsamplesâ€ and don't give away any of the rights to your work unless you are properly paid for them. It's easier than whacking off a zombie's noggin with a lawnmower blade and just as effective in terms of producing the desired mortality.

		<description><![CDATA[Once upon a time I read about this little rip-off strategy somewhere, but I can&#039;t for the life of me remember where.  I didn&#039;t think about it again until I recently spotted an ad looking for writers.  The ad itself sounded okay but the underlying dishonesty renders it completely indecent.
