Sue Connelly created the Keep In Touch (KIT) List in 1997 to help her friends and colleagues at SGI find great jobs.  She is is not a recruiter, so she does this in her free time with the help of her friends, Amy Sloniker and Valerie Cienega.  The list has grown rapidly, so please help reduce the huge moderator burden by following the instructions below.  Thanks so much!

NOTE: We've split the KIT List into two! A new list, KIT-Tech, has been started to address all technical jobs (e.g., engineering, programming, etc.). The original KIT List will be for all other jobs (marketing, management, HR, finance, sales, etc.). 

If you have any comments or suggestions, you can reach the moderators (Sue, Amy and Valerie) directly at KITlist-owner@yahoogroups.com.
