Professional Behaviour

Punctuality

Whether it is being punctual for an interview or the job itself, it sets the right impression. It is best to be early, usually by about 10-15 minutes as it shows you can be relied upon to be on time.

Reliability

If you can be trusted with handling certain responsibilities, then you  are more likely to keep your job or be promoted to a higher role in the business - it greatly helps the business improve and get jobs done quicker and more efficiently.

Communication Skills

To have the ability to talk to people confidently anywhere is the supports of any business. In media, the ability to choose random people and talk to them - be it for a vox pop or a possible client; working in a team is a huge part of media production and the ability to tell other people what to do and ask others questions all relys on good communication skills. It is important to have a motivational attitude and good self presentation as these tend to get people listening to you, to be outwardly friendly also makes you approachable.

Time Management

To organise time and how you use it is just as good as reliability, you can not be trusted if you do not organise your use of time. Knowing where to be at a particular time, what you should be doing, what time you give for planning and making arrangements. It is useful to keep a schedule or a diary, to aid with planning.

Self Presentation

Working in a Team

To be able to work well with others is crutial, particularly in jobs where you are required to work in a team - especially in a media role. Many people can be easily relied upon when they work well with others and work is often completed quicker due to good communication skills.

Working to on your Own Initiative

Commitment

Commitment get's people interested in the work, if they weren't interested in the work then they wouldn't be bothered to complete it or d it properly. Lack of commitment lets the team down, inefficient punctuality or lack of organisation han greatly depress the flow of a production; if a microphone operator fails to turn up for a shoot then the team is unable to record.

Motivation

To have the motivation to work is important as it acts as a driving force to get the work done. To encourage others to work, particularly in a team, is essential in the role of a manager- it drives employees to want to do the work rather than just doing it; motivating others requires good communication skills and is crutial in working in a team.
