Another PROpenMic Success :: Maria Garcia and Lindsey George at Converseon

The PROpenMic social network for PR students, faculty and practitioners continues to prove successful.

Paull Young, of Young PR and Converseon emailed me the other day with news. He reminded me of the two people at Converseon that found their way to the firm through social media, and PROpenMic, in particular. 

Maria Garcia De la Ossa (right) and Lindsey George (left, and her digital resume) are both working with Converseon today. Maria is a new hire and Lindsey is doing her internship. She’s from Auburn, too.

Maria’s story revolves around her involvement in a student competition that Shel Holtz discusses … actually, raves about - in his blog. It is the National Student Advertising Competition sponsored by AOL.com. Maria is participating as a member on the Emerson College team.

Each of these students joined PROpenMic in its earliest days. They were active in creating contacts with people within the network. That’s how you get where you want to go, folks. And, they did it.

So, here’s the video from both Maria and Lindsey. Thanks, Paull!

Ya’ know, there’s another Auburn alum at Converseon, too. The wonderful Christi Eubanks began working with Converseon last year, actually. :o) And, let’s not forget a shout out to the great Constantin Basturea, too! :o) Hey, Constantin! Thanks for taking care of the students/alums and helping them grow and learn.
