When applying for a job on Craigslist, do you think I should write them a little note on the E-mail I send or should I just send my resume and let it speak for itself?
I think it looks more polite I guess to write something extra but sometimes I'm not sure what to write.... What do you all think?

Cover Letter/Resume is your best option.

Just email them. It's easy to get a job on that.

I put a little introductory message in front of my email explaining who I am (my age, where I live, etc.) as well as where I found the ad and any additional information. I thank them for their time, etc.

Just sending the resume, although informational, could just be confusing, and most people do not appreciate having resumes shoved in their face. Sending a nice little "hello, I am..." just seems more professional.
