The "Gigs" section of Craigslist mostly caters to people looking for one-time or contractual work, which often includes computer gigs. Here's how to find a computer gig on Craigslist.

Visit Craigslist. Many computer jobs can be done as telecommuting, so it isn't necessary to select your region first.
2Look under the "Gigs" heading for computer jobs that you find compelling. When you find one that you are qualified for and that looks interesting, contact the contractor through Craigslist or through any contact information they give.
3Apply to many gigs at once because they are almost always contractual and very rarely will they prohibit you from working on multiple gigs at a time.
4Before accepting a job or beginning work, ask for a phone number where the employer can be reached or a business address. This will help you confirm that the job is not a scam.
5Save all email correspondence and get the contract in writing before you actually begin work for the computer gig.
6Use Craigslist's guidelines to avoiding scams and frauds to help you avoid potential scam artists. Report anybody who has burned you.
