[KIT-list] FROM SUE: Thank you so much for the wonderful and uplifting messages — and a new resource for you!

Sunday, January 22, 2023

Hello Everyone,

First of all, I'm sorry the formatting and word spacing in my email announcing the closing of the KIT List. I'd proofed it so many times, but the formatting was lost between email platforms. Argh!


Thank You So Much:

I will be getting get back to every one of you who took the time to send me an email. I can't express how MUCH your encouraging and kind messages mean to us (Kelly is seeing them, too!), since this was a very difficult decision that I'd been contemplating for many years.

Your emails are such a beautiful reflection of the heart and caliber of the truly special people in our KIT List community. Thank you!


An Excellent Job Resource for You:

I wanted to let you know about a great place for people from the KIT List to go, which was started out of the same spirit of helping others by a terrific person, Albert Qian.

Albert created his Facebook group nine years ago during his own job search — and he does this in his spare time, too! It has grown to not only a large community, but he also offers networking events and information-packed webinars to help job seekers.

You can sign up for Albert's List here:
https://m.facebook.com/albertslist/

Since it's on Facebook, it's a robust place where people can share tip and ideas, or ask questions about their job search and get answers from the community. Albert has volunteer moderators to help keep the quality and preserve the code of conduct (which I know so well how vital it is to protect members in an online community!).


KIT List Resources that Will Remain Up:

As I mentioned in my announcement email a few days ago, I will continue to keep these resources online so you can still get the "insider tips" from the hiring experts so you can ace your interviews — and land the job you'll love!

KIT List Blog:
Ideas, job tips, events, and life lessons (sharing what I've learned during life's challenges and unexpected adventures!).
https://kitlist.wordpress.com/

KIT List "Get That Job!" TV Shows:
I interview two experts in each show who share job search and interviewing tips, plus smart career strategies.

KIT List "Corona" Videos:
Kelly and I interview our trusted friends who are recruiters and career experts on how to get a job during a worldwide pandemic. These tips are timely for any difficult economic turn!

Again, I am profoundly touched by your wonderful messages, which I'm sharing with my sister Kelly who has been my amazing co-moderator (since 2009!). I have deep gratitude to our earlier moderators, Val Cienega and Amy Sloniker Plunkett, who pitched back in 2003 with their precious time to help with the workload to keep the KIT List going!

Warmly,

Sue
