A different approach to job hunting

So a friend of a friend of mine is trying something new. They have been looking for a month or so with not many bites.

They decided to put an add in the paper and say something to the effect of "3 years experience in the oil and gas sector, seeks analyst position" or something along those lines. Is this a good approach or a bad approach? Why?

 
"a friend of a friend of mine" So what kind of paper have you been trying, bro? Maybe try internet ads

haha, Well to be honest, I don't really know the guy's experience that well. I just know he is in finance and looking for work (same as me).

I feel like craigslist is for people who want to pretty much nothing for whatever they are shopping for.

 

I've seen people do this on craigslist

I see a lot of this on craigslist as well...
