Writer's Note
Since we've looked some "heard about" examples, let's try to practice "heard of".
When you use "Heard of", it means you are becoming aware of someone/something's existence. Also, to receive news about someone/something. *Remember that "heard" is the past tense of "hear".*
- I heard of a job opening at the company and I'm here for an interview.
