HAPPO — Hire Me!

Filed Under Career 

Some of you may have heard of the HAPPO movement. HAPPO stands for Help a PR Pro Out and today from 11-3 p.m. EST, PR professionals around the country are helping others find positions in PR.

As someone who is still searching for a job in the sports PR field (either with a team, sport publication, or an agency with sport clients), I wanted to create a post to go live during the HAPPO action. If you know of any relevant entry-level positions, please let me know via e-mail at christy[dot]hammond19[@]gmail[dot]com or by Twitter.

As you can see in my bio, I have 3.5 years of experience working for hockey teams (minor league, college, and the NHL), including 2.5 years with the Detroit Red Wings, in addition to a summer internship with Burson-Marsteller at their Chicago office. As my online portfolio and LinkedIn profile demonstrate, I have acquired experience in event management, new media (writing articles for the web and gameday programs, blogging weekly), media relations (updating media guides, setting up interviews, updating game notes and player bios, creating media lists and editorial calendars), and community relations (setting up meet and greets, maintaining charitable donations request database, assisting with 50/50 raffles).

If you have any questions about my experiences/qualifications or can point me to a relevant job opening, please reach me at christy[dot]hammond19[@]gmail[dot]com. Thanks in advance!
