If you've ever worked in PR, or wanted to work in PR, you've surely heard of Vocus, whose PR software sets the industry standard.  If you've ever been a journalist, or wanted to be a journalist, you've heard of Peter Shankman, whose website, HelpAReporterOut.com, is where journalists and PR flacks go to get stories and sources.

On Thursday, October 4, you'll see both at the Vocus Open House, where they are hiring for hundreds of jobs on their amazing campus (a world-class gym, spa, arcade, sweet shop and lots more), plus hear a keynote from Peter Shankman about "How to Better Brand Yourself in the Age of Social Media." RSVP HERE!
