The ability to communicate with clear, accurate speech and writing is a must. You need an excellent command of the English language and should be able to work effectively in a variety of media and situations. School courses in journalism, Web design, speech, photography, and typing are highly desirable, but are not required. Experience with computer editing software such as Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Premiere, and Adobe After Effects are also advantageous.

Hope to see you soon!
