In addition, it is very important that we are in constant education and training. Digital communication is fundamental. Understanding algorithms, being precise and innovative are three big keys.

S?o diversos setores de atua??o, ent?o é sempre bom detectar qual o seu foco ou preferências, pelo menos iniciais, para que você busque especializa??es na área.

It is very important to complement communication studies with any other career such as: law, marketing, philosophy, programming, audiovisual design, user design, it is good to add other points of view to enrich our communicative view.

A bachelor’s degree in communications or related fields provides foundational knowledge in media, writing, and public relations. It helps you understand the theoretical aspects of communication, media laws and ethics, which are crucial for making informed decisions in a professional setting.

I earned my degree in English and have a minor in statistics. When I first began college I was under the impression that I would be able to make the career happen in just statistics. It was quickly after being around my profession that I knew how essential the writing component to my career. I have always enjoyed writing and being able to tell the story in my writings, so it was easy for me to make that move to English. I am one that can quickly make the transition into English and be able to reach a wider audience. Additionally, I earned a Master's Degree in Sports Management, where I was able to combine the two degrees, while effectively using the degree.

Hands-on experience, such as internships or entry-level roles, allows you to apply theoretical knowledge in real-world situations. This practical experience is invaluable for understanding the nuances of the job and is often a key requirement for employers.

Que me desculpem os devotados à Academia, mas experimentar o mercado é fundamental! Passar por diferentes ambientes, meios e veículos de comunica??o também é algo enriquecedor. A exemplo: trabalhar em jornal, TV, rádio, em assessoria de imprensa, numa grande corpora??o... experiências diferentes ao longo da carreira agregam maturidade e amplitude ao olhar e fazer comunica??o.

In my experience of working with the profession, I have realized that working events that are "free" or "not getting paid for" can sometimes be the best way to grow your portfolio. I have had the opportunity to truly grow my resume and expand my network by working four NCAA Tournament events. Those events allowed me to work alongside a number of institutions who visited sites in Raleigh, Charlotte and Greensboro in order to see the first-hand way that those professionals covered the event. My suggestion is always take a chance and get to know those around me and grow even if the job doesn't pay. It will pay off in the end.

The communications field, especially digital communications, is constantly evolving. Staying current with trends and technologies ensures that your skills remain relevant and competitive.

I definitely make a point to stay with the trends and stay with the times. Working in college athletic media relations I institute a number of ideas that programs in the Power 5, mid-major and professional levels on Instagram, Facebook and LinkedIn have to offer for ways to improve. You are always one that should never stop learning and building your ways to promote your product.

Building my personal brand has taken on a whole new meaning for me in the last six years through my Sports Analytics business. Having had the opportunity to build this brand and grow my personal business, while still working a full-time job is essential for me in developing ways to watch my business expand. Therefore, I take the time to reach out to those that are "impossible" to reach with my business by being "aggressive" on LinkedIn. Many that are in this same situation realize what you have to offer and are willing to listen to your idea and skillsets as well.

Developing a personal brand is crucial in the communications field as it establishes credibility, differentiates you in a competitive market, and enhances career opportunities. It enables you to build a professional network, positions you as a thought leader, and ensures control over your online presence and professional image. A strong personal brand not only showcases your unique skills and experiences but also builds trust and recognition in your industry, making it a vital aspect of career growth and success in communications.

A integridade precisa ser a marca de quem trabalha com reputa??o. Isso perpassa o relacionamento com o cliente, com a equipe, com a imprensa e outros públicos de interesse da sua marca pessoal-profissional. Em tempo: Quando o assunto é reputa??o, n?o se distingue a pessoa do profissional.

A lot of great advice has already been shared but I will just add one point that is often forgotten. Listen to your target market’s needs, their pain points and how your product or service can help them. That is how you become a Communications specialist.
