General E mail
by: Doc

Try this one.
kbrjobshelp@kbr.com
I got this from KBR regarding job applications;
"Effective June 23, 2006 KBR will no longer be accepting resumes by email, mail, fax, or at recruiting events.

New Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) regulations mandate that as a company we can no longer accept resumes via email or at recruiting events. All resumes MUST be entered online, by interested applicants, at www.kbrjobs.com."
Keep moving forward, don't stop with one company and again, good luck.

Many Thanks
by: Anonymous

Many thanks for the words of wisdom, will remember those valid points you made. Tried the email address and they must have a filter to stop mails from people not in their system as it came back. Many thanks though.

P.S.

When talking to any recruiter, unless you know the person who refered you, it is best not to "Drop Names", that being said, if he reply's to your Email, I recomend not using my name.
Good luck.
Cheers.
His name is "Dave Ford" and his email is; dave.ford@kbr.com

Don't poison the well.
by: Doc

When dealing with KBR recruiters, it is best to let them approach you as they have a tendency to declare people "Persona non grata" for hireing. That being said, here is the # for the KBR Operator- 713-753-2000, if you get the crabby one, she's not going to be much help to you.
Here is a number to a recruiter, but you will probably get a voice mail and they don't seem to spend much time returning calls-713-753-2191
Good luck.
Cheers.
