Looking for PR/marketing contacts

[ssullivan]

I'm not looking for a job, but a very close friend in Atlanta is. He is currently with a PR/marketing firm there, but is looking for a change. I was wondering if there's anyone here who knows someone who works in marketing or PR that would be willing to talk to him and help him network within the industry. This doesn't have to be someone limited to any one certain geographic area. As I said, he lives in Atlanta, but is open to relocation. If you are someone, or know of someone, send me a PM and I'll reply and we can chat about how to go about putting my friend and you or your contact in touch. Thanks!

The Public Relations Society of America has one of the best and busiest networking systems there is, because PR people are better than anyone at networking. It's how they survive in that business.

If your friend hasn't already, tell him to check out the "Networking" button on the national PRSA website. http://www.prsa.org/ They have job listings, and resumes of people looking for work, and there are jobs to be had here in Houston.

The website for the Houston chapter is http://www.prsahouston.org/
