Business skills (accounting, budgets, grants, etc) and working knowledge of lots of various computer software programs such as graphics, multi-media, business, etc.
Also, you need good "interpersonal" and diplomacy skills. You will deal with many internal and external customers and will work in lots of teams. I had a lot of experience working in these settings and I still often felt like I needed a psychology degree to deal with all the complex personalities, politics and issues I ran into once I started working.
Good Luck,

Subject: [MUSEUM-L] Random Job Skills Question
Good morning, everyone.
Since I am coming up on my final two semesters of coursework for my
MA, I thought I would ask a general question. When you entered the
work force, what skillsets did you find yourself needing most often
that were not part of your academic coursework? Did you find yourself
needing clerical skills? Accounting skills?
I just happened to think about that this morning, and it seemed like
an interesting question.
Have a great day,
Garet Bleddynn
