The importance of learning various skills.

As I have mentioned previously I work as a Public Relations intern at an art gallery. Going into my internship I had zero experience doing any sort of work on programs other than your basic microsoft word and powerpoint. The internship was only supposed to last for this semester BUT I have been asked to continue working with them next semester also. (Exciting!)

One of the biggest reasons I think that they want me to continue working with them is that I have shown that I am adaptable and that I am will to learn to skills.

Stand out!!

Anytime you have a chance to learn new skills, say for instance taking a digital media class you are increasing your making yourself more marketable.

In my digital media class at Park University with Prof. Steven Youngblood check out his blog! I have learned how to navigate my way around multiple adobe programs that I will be using next semester in my internship. Even if you don't think your field is directly related to you needed to know how to edit video or photo or create web or newspaper layouts, having those skills set you apart from all the other candidates.

The moral of this rant is that you should take every opportunity given to you and think outside of the box! Our world is continually becoming more digital and you don't want to be left behind!!
