Software Developer
Though not directly relevant to a career in film & television production, I have transferable skills from my previous role as a software developer, such as: - Teamwork - working as part of a team to deliver high quality software. - Creativity & Problem Solving - analysing problems, formulating solutions and delivering them to a given deadline and/or budget. - Organisation & Communication Skills - managing my own time and workload efficiently, as well as working with other teams or colleagues to achieve a shared goal. - Resourcefulness & Perserverance - finding the right solution can often be a combination of knowing the correct solution from experience, and knowing how to find part of the solution and adapting it to the problem at hand. - Responsibility & Autonomy - taking on tasks myself, upskilling in areas of unfamiliarity, working without direct guidance and using my iniative.
