I’m also going to add my own two cents to this as far as job searching:
When looking for a job on Craigslist or any job board, use caution. Some positions are actually "home-based businesses" and if you are looking for an hourly or a salary job, they could use Craigslist as a way of "dangling the carrot". Then, depending on circumstances, you will be spending money and time going to the "interview" only to find out that you wasted time.
Make sure to only reply to opportunities that spells out most of the job details in the ad, especially the pay-per-hour or a base salary per year. Any ad that creates Craigslist like a newspaper classified should be proceed with caution.
After all, Craigslist charges people per post, not per word.
Wow… Productive Tactics isn’t getting a lot of love. I gotta pay more attention to this baby here.

Now, I know what you’re thinking: Ain’t this suppose to be about Hip-Hop? Well, not really.
Also, why is this listed under "Productive Tactics"? Because selling yourself is such an important skill. Just take away "Pop" and put "hip-hop" or "Spoken Word" or "Rock" and it can be applied to any career involving the limelight. Also, I kind of think this would be a fun topic to read.
