"Pay It Forward" Survey for the KIT List

Hello!

Thanks so much for taking the time to share your feedback on the "Pay It Forward" push we all did starting in January to harness the power of friends helping friends to find jobs.

We've been impressed by the stories of the great efforts people did on behalf of friends, colleagues or complete strangers.

Now that enough time has passed to see results, it's very important to share them with the whole community to encourage everyone that friends helping friends really works and to keep this going!

Please FORWARD this survey to anyone you asked to join the Pay It Forward wave so we can get results on the ripple effects as you all spread the word to others.

Thank you!
