So, I was looking at my job search journal, and I realized that I have a number of entries that look like this:
  • Sent resume to job-2ekzp-0123456789@craigslist.org
  • Sent resume to job-kavkp-0123456789@craigslist.org. It looks scammy; "work from home developing iPhone apps." I bet the contract has a huge IP noncompete.
  • Sent resume to job-tegzr-0123456789@craigslist.org. Bleah, is this redacted again?
I wonder if entries like these are acceptable to the unemployment insurance office? A lot of stealth start-ups (and unscrupulous recruiters) are using craigslist's email-obscuring proxy capability to stay hidden behind the curtain, but I wonder if the UI will buy those as legitimate job contacts.

It doesn't really matter, in the grand scheme of things. I'm sending out far more than the requisite "three a week" job contacts. This is just one of those weird intersections between a new technology and an archaic government procedure.
