Social Media Workers

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. 

To be successful in these careers, you should be an expert in using social media, have strong communication skills, be a good writer, be creative, have an analytical personality, be able to act professionally when interacting with site users, and be willing to continue to learn throughout your career.
