If you haven’t heard, HAPPO is the PR topic to be writing/blogging/tweeting/sharing on Friday, February 17. The premise, developed by the PR job search geniuses Valerie Simon and Arik Hanson, is to help out-of-work and beginning PR Pro’s locate jobs in locations across the country. And fortunately for me, DC is one of the locations. Thank you to Mike Schaffer and Heather Huhman for posting this in DC. Here is my #HAPPO and #HAPPODC pitch.
Hi there, my name is Paige Jorgensen and I am PR student at Marquette University graduating in May. Born and raised in the Midwest, I am ready to leave the below freezing weather behind for DC. I have Hill experience as a press intern for Senator Max Baucus, but I am looking to break into the nonprofit or private sector doing entry-level PR, communications or fundraising. My strengths lie in writing and ability to think on my feet, and I have great interest and experience in writing fundraising proposals for my school. To find out more information about me or my experiences, please visit my website paigemjorgensen.weebly.com, blog Relocation Remedies paigemichele.wordpress.com or email me at jorgensen.paige@gmail.com. I am completely devoted to any job, even if it means cleaning up after the Senator’s Bischon Frise!
HAPPO sounds like a great resource Paige! Social media has been such a great resource for the job search. Good luck with the DC job search!!
Paige, when I am senator (in 25 years), you will be head of PR. …And you can give sage advice to the new MU grad picking up after my Jack Russell and Pomeranian! You will do great in DC!
Raq,
I appreciate that thank you. Let’s just hope your dog can behave itself!
