HAPPO: #HireHernandez

Hello everyone and happy #HAPPO Day! For those of you who don't know, #HAPPO is a grassroots effort led by Arik Hanson and Valerie Simon that brings together job-seekers and employers in the PR industry. Basically, PR pros looking for jobs prepare creative blog posts that are shared via Twitter during #HAPPO, which is Feb. 19 from 11 a.m. to 2p.m. EST. During this time, employers will also be sharing information on position openings, while others can Tweet their support along the way.

The following post is my pitch for #HAPPO, or Help a PR Pro Out Day. To track information about my job search, use Twitter hashtag #HireHernandez. You can connect with me on Twitter at @AngelaHernandez.
