job-post
So you’ve finalized your 2010 budgets and identified a few new new hires/openings. The job descriptions are set – you need a senior level fashion publicist and a kelly green fashion intern to help out with the upcoming Spring shows (and find you the best triple cappuccino in Manhattan).  You also know you if you go the old Craigslist route you are about to receive a ton of applicants, many of whom won’t have the experience or the passion you are looking for…

Because you’re seeking someone with incredible style, quick wit and the ability to identify and run after opportunity, in cute heels, of course. You want someone who knows how to craft the perfect pitch, someone who knows just what in the world is a Tavi. In short, you are looking for one of the thousands of PR Couture readers to join your team and help you ride the winds of success all the way to Bravo for your own fashion PR reality show.

The PR Couture Fashion PR Job Board is your secret weapon. We’ve been instrumental in placing eager, hard working practitioners into dozens of new jobs. Plus, through the 15th of January, save an extra $5 off your job post with code CUPCAKE when you post. That’s just $20 for 30 days, plus we will supplement your post with Tweets, Facebook posts etc to make sure you get the targeted applicants you need.
