What Skills Can Increase an Advertising Operations Intern's Salary?

Demanded Skills for the Role:

  • Customer Service (Mentioned in 7.24% Job Postings): Customer service is the provision of service to customers before, during and after a purchase. The perception of success of such interactions is dependent on employees "who can adjust themselves to the personality of the guest". Customer service concerns the priority an organization assigns to customer service relative to components such as product innovation and pricing. In this sense, an organization that values good customer service may spend more money in training employees than the average organization or may proactively interview customers for feedback. From the point of view of an overall sales process engineering effort, customer service plays an important role in an organization's ability to generate income and revenue. From that perspective, customer service should be included as part of an overall approach to systematic improvement. One good customer service experience can change the entire perception a customer holds towards the organization.
  • Safety Procedures (Mentioned in 5.26% Job Postings): Establishing and implementing rules and procedures to prevent potential hazards and risks to ensure a safe and productive working environment.
  • Computer Systems (Mentioned in 0.66% Job Postings): A computer system is a set of integrated devices that input, output, process, and store data and information. Computer systems are currently built around at least one digital processing device.
