A course in direction cannot be done unless you do a Bachelor's Degree in the film making and production domain. It is made clear merely a certificate course cannot make someone a good editor to claim jobs at the best places.
I shall suggest that when a good job with growing possibilities is there one has to take up the assignment because mass media jobs are the best to do when they come to you. Once the hunt starts, it takes time.

Documentary production/cinematography is a specialisation domain, and there may be many things that you will need to keep learning along with the production learning.

There is an important observation regarding this that candidates who are good in communication skills, those who know how to handle situations, conflicts as well and those who know how to manage the interactions between one company and other stakeholders should go for PR field.
Corporate communication is also the same thing as Public Relations whereas camera work is a technical work in which you manage the camera, production of some documentaries or you do the photography, etc. It's a d

As far as I am concerned, for acting and anchoring, all you need is good looks and good communication skills. If you have gained both of them after completing the course then probably you can join somewhere, but if you still haven't worked upon your communication skills then pursuing a good course that will help you enhance the same will do.
For this, you need to take a decision and think what will suit you the best.

You will need creativity, speaking, literacy, and reading skills, memorization, physical stamina, persistence, discipline, and dedication and ability to communicate with a wide variety of people.
