Interview advice

[PTOWN]

If you have any skills outside of great reporting and writing, let the SE (people who interview you know). Copy editing, design, and of course web and social media can put you above the rest. Know what Google analytics, AdWords and short links are. Even if you just have a general knowledge of such things, it can show you are willing to diversify. Journalists have to be more than writers nowadays. You have to be able to write a story and then go on-air and talk about sports intelligently. Now, your probably not going to have to do that at a smaller shop out of the gate, but if you want to move up, it's beneficial to be talented beyond the written word.
