Here are your weekly insights from Viacom’s Talent Acquisition team. This week, Leisha Shorey, our lead creative recruiter for production, offers insights on making it as a creative in the industry. Q: What skills do you need to succeed as a creative? At different points in your creative career, you’re leveraging different skill sets. For an assistant or coordinator, organization and strong interpersonal skills are critical. You will be spinning multiple plates in support of your team, keeping the call lists, rolling calls, and scheduling edits etc. Interpersonal skills are important because you will often be dealing with very senior executives. While it can feel like a lot, you’ll also have the opportunity to sit in on cuts and meetings to observe how people talk about creative direction. At the mid-level, you get to utilize what you’ve learned from those meetings to form and sell your ideas on creative direction. As a senior executive, you will direct the creative process, but ideally, be less involved with the day-to-day.
