Essential Job Skill: Speaking Up for Animals
By Paula Fitzsimmons
If you want a career advocating for animals, you’ll need to get comfortable speaking out for them. Being their voice is an enormous responsibility, and can feel intimidating, but learning a few basic skills can help you speak out effectively . . .without losing your sanity in the process.

Regardless of your position, you’ll need decent communication skills, because you’re representing not only yourself, but an entire organization.
Practicing even one of these tips can make a difference.
