Happy #HAPPO Day!

"Help a PR Pro Out" (HAPPO) has created an official #HAPPO Day on Twitter to help connect those seeking jobs in the PR industry with opportunities from 11 a.m. - 3 p.m. ET!

According to the Web site, here is how the event will help job seekers:

"It’s time to share that creative blog post for prospective employers. Tweet the champions in the market and reach out to others using your regional hashtag (see below). And remember, just because you are looking, doesn’t mean you can’t help too! See a job that’s not right for you? Consider who might be a good fit! Finally, be on the lookout for some giveaways! Both national and local industry organizations have teamed up with us to support you."

Here is Philadelphia's regional champion and hashtag: Anne Buchanan, #HAPPOPHI (for a full list of cities, click here) .

Employers will be tweeting their job openings using the general #HAPPO hashtag as well as regional ones (#HAPPOPHI) so make sure your Tweetdeck is installed and ready to go!

Happy job hunting!
