The author discusses both what a consultant does and how one goes about getting a job as a communication consultant in business and industry. The four duties of the consultant include (1) analysis or diagnosis of the clients' problems; (2) prescription of a training design or corrective measures for these problems; (3) implementation or teaching of these strategies; and (4) evaluation of these activities in relation to their success. The author concludes by drawing upon his own experiences to illustrate the avenues leading to jobs as a communication consultant. (Author/LG)
