April 30th marks HAPPO (Help a PR Pro Out) Day and I'm doing my part to help a public relations student from the Class of 2010. HAPPO was launched in early February by Valerie Simon and Arik Hanson with the purpose of helping job seekers. The concept quickly took off with the help of social networking sites such as Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn. Hundreds of blog posts are expected on April 30 showcasing outstanding students looking for their first professional PR job. I'm using this Women Making Moves post to highlight Yanique Shaw, a student I met through Twitter (you can follow her tweets here). Yanique's a senior at Salem State College and currently serves as president of her school's PRSSA chapter. She's extremely passionate about the PR field and it show's through her online presence. In addition to actively using Twitter for her job search, Yanique also maintains her own blog and has an online portfolio of her work. Yanique's provided a summary of her qualifications, which you can read below. If you're aware of an opportunity that may be a fit for Yanique, don't hesitate to Help a PR Pro Out! "My name is Yanique Shaw, currently a graduating senior at Salem State College, pursuing a degree in Public Relations and Marketing. My focus is fashion, lifestyle, consumer and beauty PR. With over four years of experience in retail, internships at a PR agency, corporate PR and marketing office, and in retail I have tailored my college career to prepare me to provide a wide variety of value to your business. I make it my priority to network, follow the latest trends in PR, marketing and fashion. I am driven, focused and ready to learn how I can make a positive and profitable employee at your firm."
