Collections Coordinator job outlook: Expert opinions

What soft skills should all Collections Coordinators possess?
Rachel Domnick: At Oklahoma State University, we are looking to build the future of accounting. Soft skills-or power skills-are integral to a successful accounting professional's skill set. However, integration of those skills into accounting programs can prove challenging. To address this challenge in our master's program, we have developed a coordinated, largely co-curricular process that allows students to learn about crucial core competencies, receive feedback on their development, and receive guidance to further develop as professionals.
What hard/technical skills are most important for Collections Coordinators?
Rachel Domnick: In designing this effort, our master's faculty selected five key competencies from the Korn Ferry Leadership Architect framework to augment the technical skills that are the focus of our program. Those competencies include ensuring accountability, managing ambiguity, collaborating, communicating effectively, and self-awareness. As part of the first course in our master's program, students are introduced to these competencies and guided to understand how they tie into the accounting profession. Students are provided with resources to understand the competencies, and instructors explicitly label activities and assignments with the competencies to which it ties.
Further, at multiple points during their master's experience, each student receives an individualized report containing feedback from master's faculty and their fellow master's students. Students also have the opportunity to understand better the feedback they've received through tailored sessions with a career center staff person trained in the Korn Ferry framework.
