Experience, Skills, and Personality Traits
Aspiring social media workers should participate in at least one internship during college with a company that uses social media. This will allow them to make valuable industry contacts, explore career options, and possibly make such a good impression that they will be offered a job after graduation. Additionally, any experience with social media, especially as it relates to advertising and marketing, will be useful.
