If you follow PR professionals on Twitter, you have probably seen a ton of tweets this week about “HAPPO.” HAPPO, which stands for Help a PR Pro Out, is an event taking place on Twitter today from 11 a.m. – 3 p.m. EST. The main goal of this event is to connect job seekers with companies and agencies looking for talented PR pros.

If you are a job seeker, put together a creative blog post, pitching yourself to prospective employers and share it on Twitter by using the hashtag #HAPPO. Other PR pros that see your tweet will help you out by retweeting and connecting you with companies that are a good fit for you.

For employers looking for their next PR rockstar, you can tweet your job openings using the hashtag #HAPPO along with a regional hashtag. HAPPO will spread the word throughout the community and help you find the perfect match for your opening.

I think HAPPO is a great idea and it’s encouraging to see that people in the PR industry are willing to help each other out. In today’s economy, it is even more difficult to find your dream job and this event is the perfect way to bring people together.

March PR is currently looking for a talented account executive with 2-3 years of tech PR agency experience. We will be keeping an eye out today for HAPPO tweets, maybe it will help us find the newest member of our team!  If you are interested in finding out more about our position, email Liz@Marchpr.com.
