I thought my dreams finally came true, but then I took one important next step.
I Googled the words "examiner.com" and "ripoff". This is what came up:
http://www.ripoffreport.com/Examiner-com/Work-at-Home-Busines/Examiner-com-don-t-pay-you-Den-P4C22.htm
Examiner.com makes an ad asking you to contribute to their newspaper by writing and taking photographs and posting them online. They list themselves as part-time work.
I posted about 20 articles. I took the job
because I was excited to be offered a job at all so I didn't ask right away how much I'd be earning.
Later, I learned that you have to have 1000 clicks to even earn $10 and they don't pay you until you hit the 3000 click mark. After 20 articles, I only made $10, which they're not going to give me.
Examiner.com is only taking advantage of people in a down economy to get free work done for them. I noticed later that many of the examiners only have about ten articles each themselves. Should've taken the hint.

So when you use CareerBuilder.com there is a chance that an offer will be no better than if it were published on Craigslist.com
