[KITlist-Tech] From Sue: Job Seekers' Seminar on "Creating Your Great Elevator Pitch" on 12/3

Hello Everyone,

There is a great Job Seekers' seminar coming up on Thursday, December 3, 2015.

This seminar is sponsored by CSIX Connect, which is a terrrific job search and networking group for which I have a lot of admiration. CSIX's founder, Hamid Saadat, was kind enough to share his job search expertise with the KIT List community on one of the TV programs I hosted, called "Get That Job!" If you'd like to see the YouTube video of the show, and hear Hamid's sage advice along with another HR hiring expert, Tom Brochoud, of Sandisk, you can watch it at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FHSlVMUbNuE

Please pass this information on to other friends who want to create an effective Elevator Pitch that will attract the right job to them!

Warmly,

Sue

You can find out more about Dee and her coaching work at https://www.linkedin.com/in/marik

This seminar will focus on your Elevator Pitch, also known as "Your 30-second commercial." Dee will discuss what an elevator pitch is, why you need one, and when you should use it, and how to make it work best.

[KITlist-Tech] File - Subscription Tips to Post, Subscribe, Unsubscribe

Gang:

I've compiled a few "tips and tricks" on using the KITlist-Tech group with the hopes that this information will eliminate direct mail to the moderators with these questions. Please read through these instructions.

The best way to use Yahoo groups is via the Yahoo groups website. By doing so, this allows you to change your email preferences from individual emails, to daily digest, to no email at all. Here's how:

Go to:

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/KITlist-Tech/

If you're not already a member, you'll join here. This allows you to then edit your membership and indicate your email preferences. Also, you can read all job postings via the website, respond directly to posts without having to decipher a cut-off email address, and peruse archived messages.

Of course, you can also subscribe by sending an email to:

KITlist-Tech-subscribe@yahoogroups.com

And you can unsubscribe by sending an email from the address you subscribed with to:

KITlist-Tech-unsubscribe@yahoogroups.com

Are you a recruiter/employer? Please visit our website where you can post jobs to our subscriber base at: www.kitlist.org

To join the NON-TECH list, send email to:

KITlist-subscribe@yahoogroups.com

And finally, to reach your list moderators, email:

KITlist-Tech-owner@yahoogroups.com

Hope this information helps!

Cheers,

Amy Sloniker
KITlist-Tech Moderator

[KITlist-Tech] File - Tell a Friend! Plus, tips to manage KIT Email Volume

Hello Everyone,

We've grown to over 71,000 members just by word-of-mouth by friends helping friends find great jobs.

I really appreciate all the support and the amazing people in this special community!

In order to have enough great jobs for everyone, we need you to tell employers and recruiters about the KIT List so we can get everyone back to work (or into new jobs) faster. The power of friends helping friends is the whole spirit of the KIT List!

KIT LIST TIPS:

This is the monthly reminder to let you know that if the volume of KIT emails is getting too much for your system, here are three options to help you manage them:

1. Direct all KIT emails to a special folder:

Some email systems allow you to create separate folders within your in-box. Create a KIT List folder and then create an email filter that will direct any emails with the word "KIT" in the subject line into that folder.

2. Have your emails grouped into one (or more) KIT email per day:

You can choose "Daily Digest" on your YahooGroups email preferences so that instead of getting individual emails. About twenty individual emails are then combined into one. Depending on the email volume for the day, you may receive more than one digest email.

Go to the KIT List home page on Yahoo Groups at:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/KITlist-Tech/

Go to the "Edit Membership" link near the top of the page right above the blue bar saying "Sue Connelly's Keep In Touch List." Under Step 2, choose "Daily Digest" in the "Message Delivery" section. Hit the "Save Changes" button at the bottom of the page, and you should be all set.

3. Stop all KIT emails and view jobs via the Web:

Go to the KIT List home page on Yahoo Groups at:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/KITlist-Tech/

Go to the "Edit Membership" link near the top of the page right above the blue bar saying "Sue Connelly's Keep In Touch List." Then go under "Message Delivery" and choose "Special Notices." Be sure to choose "Special Notices" since we do occasionally send out important messages from the moderators. Then hit the "Save Changes" button at the bottom of the page.

Also, please let us know if you get a job or candidate from the KIT List, it means a lot to us (Amy, Kelly and me) to hear how it's working for you!

Take care,

Sue Connelly
