Kevin Trowbridge Ph.D.: In addition to the hard and soft skills that can get strategic communication professionals a job, some highly valued skills may help them maximize their earning potential. Being comfortable and competent working with data is in high demand these days. Analytics has become increasingly important to show communication's value to the organization and give communication leaders critical insights to shape strategic decision-making for every department.
Further, a communication professional is likely to advance and earn more if they understand how businesses work. Business literacy is a constant reminder that strategic communication practices must be integrated and supportive of the entire organizational operation.
Everett Wiles: The assumption is made that anyone graduating with a degree in journalism and mass communication should automatically be well versed in all things technical, that assumption in my estimation is false. However, having a working knowledge of the technical aspects can and will be an asset. Some of the skills that would be helpful are, being able to operate production equipment such as cameras and audio equipment, know how to compose shots and shoot good video with good sound. It will also be an asset to know how to edit the videos that they would have shot. An employer will more than likely be seeking someone who has as many technical skills as possible to help maximize on the investment that they would have made. If they can't find one that has all the technical requirements they will go with the one who has the most.
Another thing to consider that employers will seek, outside of the technical areas is someone who is teachable, someone who has the right work ethic and attitude. You can always train someone to improve on their technical skills, but it is difficult to change someones poor attitude and work ethic.
