Creative Industries Level 5:Management and Leadership

In this weeks lesson we looked at management and leadership within a work environment and the roles each person has within the company they work for. Meredith Belbin's "Team Role Chart" underlines the three various roles that are found in a work place from Action orientated roles, People Orientated Roles and Cerebral Orientated Roles and the choice of role you believe to be suitable for you allows a better introduction into the company. A better understanding of the specific field your are going into would be to work your way up and getting a perspective of certsin things that the job you seek may not entail and positions as juniors or internships allow the steps of production of your skills and knowledge of the business.

Having a preccise career path helps in getting to that position but getting there may be only half the step as the position wil need you to meet the demands and capabilities for example of a manger, capabilities such as listening, skills, communication skills, thinking out of the box, getting the information across to your coleagues. These would be the qualities the company would want for the respective role and showing these qualities through personal statements within a CV gives an impression to the company you understand what the role needs from you and how these qualities can be used.

When applying for a job a CV is what is needed to infrorm the company of you, your details, qualifications and improtantly what can you offer the company that many others vying for the position can't, "what makes you stand out?" research into what the company wants will aid in the companys need for you. Research into the comapny available position shouldn't be the only background check but into the overall company, at how they will be suitable for you, their status to being a good choice or bad choice. Look at their structure to which perhaps could be beneficial for you to progress within and their location, to uphold your living needs by moving closer to the companies location and the connections the company ha sto maybe allow you to gain more exposure and opportunities.
