Happy to be with HAPPO

by Rene Siegel on February 16th, 2010

Help a PR Pro Out (HAPPO) Day was designed by Arik Hanson and Valerie Simon as a community-based initiative to help friends and colleagues struggling to find jobs in the current economic climate. This Friday, February 19, from 8 am-12 pm Pacific Time, PR bloggers, agency leaders, and PR professionals from across the country will donate their time and talents to help fellow PR pros connect with employers as part of the first-ever event.

High Tech Connect’s Michelle Stewart and René Siegel are proud to be the Silicon Valley market champions, and will participate in this virtual event via Twitter. HAPPO “market champions” like High Tech Connect will help by retweeting and connecting job seekers on Twitter with potential employers in their specific market.

Leading up to Feb. 19, job seekers are encouraged to develop creative blog posts, pitching themselves to prospective employers and sharing via Twitter during the event on Feb. 19 using the hashtag #HAPPO. Please join us and help spread the word so we can get more people working.
