What we are looking for in a community manager?
1, A “Smilerâ€.
Some people are just infectious. You want to spend time with them. Even though a lot of it is online, a lot of it is face to face. So yup, a smiler.
2, Slow to anger.
If people say something that hurts, you can’t take it personally. You can’t react. You have to rise above it. Your emotions can’t rule you.
3, A writer that writes like they talk.
Um…. Tricky one. But an important one. You just need to able to be yourself. Your voice needs to be heard amongst the words that you write.
4, Hunger for knowledge.
To be curious about stuff is important. There is a part of you that needs to be a journalist/researcher/and at the same time think like your audience.
5, To be part geek, part luddite.
To be as comfortable on things like Twitter and Facebook as you are on a telephone or writing a letter.
6. Cardigan Bay.
The job is down here. It’s beautiful. But it’s not for everybody. In a way, you are going to be the hub of the team. So yup, it’s down here.
7, Optimistic.
We are David in a world of Goliaths. Our job (and yours) is to tell the world about our product. We sell inspiration Free to the world. As products go, it’s a good one. A belief that we can make a difference is the motivation for the journey ahead.
