I've been trying craigslist, but it seems to me more a waste of time than a useful resource. I've sent tons of emails to their ads, simply to never get a reply.
Anyways, I just started a job in NYC so I'm looking to move in (temporarily) in either a sublet or a share apartment/house in either Queens or BK...preferably in a somewhat good neighborhood, looking for anything in the $600-700/mo range including utilities.
If anyone knows of anybody looking for a roomate temporarily, please forward them my information. I'm looking for something within walking distance to a subway line. I'm going to be working the nightshift 7 out of every 14 days, and I make a good rate working at Citigroup so I WILL pay rent ON TIME. I can provide first month rent up front.

What I suggest in Queens is to go to local real estate offices in the neighborhood you want to live in. That is your best bet in finding what you want.
Where exactly in Queens are you interested in?

I don't really know the queens area very well, but as far as getting to work easily, something along the E train path (queens blvd) would be best...right now I'm temporarily staying with a family member in Bellerose (Union Tpk and Springfield Blvd.), and the commute is a bit too lengthy as I have to hit the Q46 bus for half an hour + the full length ride on the E train..eliminating the bus ride would be key.

You should come to my neighborhood and check the local real estates offices. There are tons of them and I see them with signs for apartments/rooms for rent all the time. Your better off doing the footwork iin the neighborhood your interested in to find it. I see houses/apartment buildings all the time with "For Rent" signs.
I'm located in Jackson heights which leaves you at the 74th Street & Roosevelt Station.
Let me know I'll meet up with you if I have time and show you around.

Also try Flushing - walking distance to Main Street 7 Line
Jamaica - along Hillside Ave- You can walk to a number of stops on the F Line and then transfer to E if needed.
Woodside, Jackson Heights, Sunnyside - walk to 7 line
Good luck. Also check Newsday paper classified section

I do have my BMW, so I would need a parking spot. I am going to be working nights, 3 and 4 days (alternating) per week, so the car is going to be parked pretty much always while I work. I would only use it on days when I am off.

Also look into jersey city since you're downtown.
E train stations 71st continental and union turnpike/kew gardens area would also work for you.
In this area it would be about 600-700 shared room and about $1k for studios.
Good Luck

E train @ Union/Kew is where I get on the train NOW. It's a 45 minute ride into my office, not bad at all. But at this point in time, I have to spend an extra 30 minutes on a bus to get to the subway, thats the part thats killing me.
as of now, just for 2-3 months preferably something that has a month-to-month rental contract because I'm unsure a) how long I'll have this job and b) I don't want to lock into a contract for 6+ months just to get a new job and have to pay 5 months rent to cover.
