This post covers:

• Skills people usually ask for in community management job posts
• Tips on what to do if you don’t have previous “professional” experience
• Skills I didn’t realize would be so useful for community management
• Resources I recommend for beginners
• A little motivation for those who are tired of the job hunt

Thanks for reading here for these past few months! ❤
