Aspiring Internet consultants should participate in at least one internship during college to gain valuable experience and allow them to make industry contacts, which could lead to a job offer after graduation. You should also learn as much as you can about computer software and hardware and the Internet.

Internet consultants must be lifelong learners. You should have the desire and initiative to keep up on new technology, software, and hardware. You must also have good communication skills, including good listening skills. Creativity and a good eye for digital design are also desirable. Because Internet consultants deal with many different people in various lines of work, they must be flexible and have good interpersonal skills. To be a successful consultant, you should be self-motivated and have the ability to work alone as well as with groups. You also need to have the patience and perseverance to see projects through.
