   In no particular order, here is a list of skill sets that help in the Document Management space:

   -- Basics of CMS (Content Management Systems)

   -- Basics of Document Management Systems

   -- Taxonomy

   -- Version/Revision Control management

   -- Workflows

   -- Content Audits

   -- Advanced Microsoft Word skills

   -- Basics of Data Security

   -- Basics of Project Management

   -- Perhaps experience or knowledge of ISO's document management standard

   -- Doesn't hurt to have some basic coding skills in R

   -- Wouldn't hurt to have an understanding of compliance rules and laws for whatever industry you are looking to join (healthcare vs. law vs. whatever). you wouldn't need to take a class per se but it's not a bad idea to at least understand some of the "compliance jargon" so you feel comfortable in an interview.
