Communication Manager Resume

Communications manager resume is a professional letter written by an applicant to apply for the post of communications manager, a senior level post, by writing about his skills, experience, education, and achievements in the field. All this information is given in order to impress the recruiter, so that he selects you over other applicants.

There are various communications related posts in the industry such as IT communications manager, media communications (print and audio video) manager, etc. The person at this post has to handle and head the communications department, facilitating a smooth and effective flow of the information. The role of an IT communications manager is very different from that of a media communications manager, where in the IT industry, the communications manager is concerned with the proper functioning of IT infrastructure (Internet and LAN) while in media, the manager is concerned with the broadcast of content. Here, he looks into the content of the programs, depending upon the type of target audience for that broadcast.

Every company needs employees in this department with excellent communication skills in both written and verbal form. In a corporate environment, the job of an internal communications manager or external communications manager is:

To manage the inflow and outflow of information within/outside the company
To secure proper communication infrastructure for the company in order to facilitate efficient and fast communication between different departments, thus facilitating speedy decision making and execution
To facilitate inter-company communication, public broadcast, or public relations for giving a boost to the marketing efforts of the company
To handle intra-company communications such as publishing of corporate newsletters, memos, and other important announcements

These are some of the important responsibilities in any organization or department and one needs to be competent enough to handle them in the most competitive manner possible. As for the educational qualifications, one needs to be either a mass communication or IT engineering graduate or have a master's degree in business administration (with specialization in PR) to get such a job.
