interviewing skills

The key things to show in an interview, when you have very little professional experience are:
Personality
Resilience
Thinking outside the box
Times you've been out of your comfort zone
Team work
Passion
Whether this is through sports, travelling, internships or being the oldest of 5 children. If you give examples of how you've pushed yourself and used your initiative, you'll stand out. Also, remember to smile, charisma can take you far.

leadership skills

The way in which ideas come to life is from having so many people involved in everything we do so much so, that the notion of the singular leader who knows it all and has is it all figured out is dwindling. Instead, what’s emerging are leaders who’re able to hold their vision and see other people's talents to which they can extract to the fullest.

presentation skills

Creative Directors, don't over-explain your creatives' point during a pitch or client meeting. If you brought them to the meeting it's because you thought they could articulate the work themselves. Also, there's no need for 5 people to answer the same client question. Clients hate that. Fact.

salary negotiation skills

Remember 75% of people who ask for raises get some kind of pay bump.So just ask.
And if they say it’s not possible, ask for a timeline on when it would be appropriate. Get them to agree to a future date.

team work

I like to reflect on my old journals, writings, and review old goals so I know when to move onto new goals and think about how I've done it in the past. My number one advice is to not be afraid to ask strangers for help and leave your comfort zone/don’t be afraid to go back. If you're looking to start something new, think "how hard can it be?" Just remember everyone has to figure it out when they do something the first time, so fake it till you make it and be patient!
