interviewing skills

Never underestimate the power of interview preparation.
1. Read up about the agency you're interviewing for - any previous work they've done - and have an opinion about it.
2. Know your own portfolio inside out.
3. Prepare a set of questions to show your interest - who they are inspired by, what culture they have at the agency or what vision they have for the company.

leadership skills

Privileges come with responsibility, so it is inherently bullshit for the saying "have it all" to exist. There is no way one can have control over everything in their life and have equilibrium at all times. If you feel yourself struggling because you "don't have it all" or feel like you aren't perfect, do yourself the incredible favor of not holding yourself to those standards (of people who have abundant money, staff, fame, etc. and APPEAR a certain way.) Don't forget that whenever we want something additional in our lives, you have to sacrifice something for it, whether it's time or space or money.

presentation skills

Your personal image is also your personal brand, so when you're on the job hunt, your entire LinkedIn page should be reflective of your personality. This is important because oftentimes, your profile can be your first impression to employers and recruiters.

salary negotiation skills

From when you graduate, be unashamedly interested in money. Read salary surveys, ask colleagues, mentors and recruiters about it. Knowing the market and our market value will help us negotiate a better pay.

team work

Create expectations and a structure around getting to know your colleagues on a personal level that is within work hours and doesn't rely on alcohol so everyone can participate. For instance, regular weekly or monthly lunches that don't get moved.
