PR pros are organizing a four-hour online event Feb. 19 to help colleagues (and PR-aspiring students) find jobs in the industry.
The federal Bureau of Labor Statistics said in January that employment of PR specialists is expected to grow 24 percent from 2008 to 2018, much faster than the average for all occupations. So, sooner or later PR jobs are expected to take off.
Those seeking PR work have been instructed to post a blog entry on Friday between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. EST and send a link under the #HAPPO hashtag on Twitter so that employers (and other PR pros) taking part can find them.
