Teamwork

Working with or employing other people on projects.

The creative industries are built on effective, multi-skilled teamwork, so the ability to get on with colleagues from a variety of backgrounds, fit in quickly and get on with the job almost instantly are important features of a successful practitioner. Make yourself indispensable, develop a positive reputation, be flexible and reliable and establish and maintain good working relationships. Offer a portfolio of sought-after transferable skills, consider how to fill the gaps and don't promise anything you can't deliver as ultimately this will not impress.
