I seem to be getting a lot traffic for a semi-joke post Ten Cool Careers for Media and Communication Majors last year. Here’s another one for 2012!
1. Social Media R&D (Research and Development)
Test, evaluate and determine if the latest social media Whizz Bang! is of use for the organisation.
2. Traveling Blogger, Seeker of Awesome in Far Away Places
Most likely working for a travel agency or startup, you get to live the location independent life!
3. Just Manic Enough Entrepreneur
Show me the money and I’ll show you the world.
4. Content Curator, Digital Storyteller
Decide if the slew of tweets, blogs, posts and link is worth appearing in The Story
5. Hybrid MediaComms
Use special powers and ability to connect related and unrelated stuff to make art that also speaks to both brand and consumer.
6. Ghost Writer
Ghost tweet and blog and pretend that you are someone really famous, but officially anyway.
7. Copywriter – the Dating Kind
With many living their lives online, or their working life is slowly eating in the personal, they may need a little bit of help in terms of writing a compelling pitch. In the online dating scene.
8. Political Campaigner
When someone searches on Google, you want to make sure the right results pop up…of their competitor, such as their DUI charge back in 2007.
9. Undercover Social Media Spy
Applied for a house, but not sure if they are the clean cut type? Or what about if they claim that they love animals, The Financial Review or Pink Floyd? Fear not because business owners, recruiters, laywers and real estate agents need someone like YOU to trawl through their social media profiles for The Truth.
10. Online Reputation Manager
With social media, it’s hard to jump into another country and claim that you are a princess or a Tahitian prince. Worry no more.
Love it! Where do I apply for 6 and 10?
