Weber Shandwick's office in Chicago has hired the "bachelorette."In the light-hearted spirit of Friday news I thought I would bring you this story from The Sun Times.
From the Sun Times:
Cathy Calhoun, president of public relations giant Weber Shandwick's Chicago office, confirmed she has hired former television "Bachelorette" Jen Schefft, 29, as a senior account executive. Schefft's first day on the job will be Aug. 15.
Calhoun insists Schefft was hired not for her celebrity status, but rather because she is well-qualified for the post. "We talked to her over a period of several weeks, while many public relations firms in the city were trying to get her," maintains Calhoun.
But why Schefft? "A lot of our clients are interested in tapping into pop culture, and in a way Jen is pop culture and understands what it's all about," added Calhoun, who described Schefft as "smart, bright and energetic." Schefft also passed a writing test she was given at Weber Shandwick before being hired, Calhoun said.
Well if nothing else Schefft has extended her 15-minutes of fame. This is the best decision Weber's made since they hired bachelor Mike Teegardin here in Minneapolis. Cheers Mike!
