27,822 President Jobs Nationwide
The president is the head of a corporation. The primary job of a president is to oversee all aspects of a company's activities. Presidents consult with senior management staff to determine which direction the company should take and how it should get there.
Skillset: Presidents need to have very strong analytical and decision making skills. They need to be able to communicate their ideas clearly and concisely to others in the company, as well as listen attentively to any input from the company's management.
Education: Presidents typically need to have at least a bachelor's degree in business management. Those planning to lead a larger corporation should look at getting an MBA as well.
Career Path: The easiest way to become a president is to start a new business, which automatically puts one at the head of the company. Those who wish to lead an existing company should build their career by working in management positions. Most presidents first started their career by having junior leadership positions and then worked their way up the ladder. It is extremely unlikely for one to become president of a corporation without having at least a decade of experience in various management positions.
