4. Digital Marketing

It’s no secret that everything is online these days. More and more companies are searching for people skilled in digital and social media marketing to help their companies reach a larger audience more effectively.

Educating yourself on the best practices for these types of marketing can really help you stand out in terms of your technological skills, especially since you know that literally everyone is going to have “proficient in Word” on their resume. Does that really even need to be said anymore? Isn’t it just a given?

For some good refreshers, try doing some online exercises, or check out The Only Grammar Book You’ll Ever Need, which offers tips relevant to pretty much any type of writing assignment you could possibly have.
