What skills stand out on Internet Consultant resumes?
Sung Eun Park: Companies hiring marketing consultants look for someone with strong communication and leadership skills that can translate to great candidates. In addition, a strong background in data analysis will definitely stand out from other candidates. Unlike many beliefs, people who get jobs as marketing consultant comes from various education backgrounds including advertising and English major. It is an indication that companies are open to people with diverse perspectives that can bring fresh eyes to the team. The resumes showcasing a person with various experiences highlighting strong leadership skills (not just strictly marketing) in a team environment will get noticed.
How do you envision technology impacting Internet Consultants in the next 5 years?
Sheri Lambert: In marketing, we see a continuation of digital transformation. The upward trend has always been there, but COVID has pushed the fast-forward button. Graduates entering the workforce need to have a mastery of data, analytics, optimization, modeling, gamification, and data modeling tools. Recent graduates have an advantage because they are comfortable using newer technologies and have been communicating virtually their whole lives - they are true digital natives. They can take what they've learned and apply it immediately.

What technology do you think will become more important and prevalent for Internet Consultants in the next 3-5 years?
Thomas Campbell Ph.D.: What technology do you think will become more important and prevalent in the field in the next 3-5 years? We're always going to need tried and true methods, but this year has taught us that we need to expand our understanding and embrace digital media. I've had many conversations with colleagues throughout the country, and we've all expressed a desire for a deeper understanding and more people who are trained in video editing, sound mixing for digital performance, digital design, and performance for virtual venues are just a few of the areas being discussed. Again, we're always going to have live performances. Still, the pandemic has broadened our understanding of what theatre can do, and we need to embrace and teach those technologies as much as we are in the traditional forms. I also think students need to be adept at video editing and presenting their work in digital venues. The pandemic has been hard on all of us -- personally and professionally - but we've entered a new reality, and "going back to normal" may be unobtainable, so we need to work in these new mediums and find ways to use them to enhance the work we're doing.
