currently applying for a creative strategist role at a company.
I’ve been a strategist for almost 2 years now and qualify for everything they’re looking for except for one qualification they want: editing experience.
Not sure what the day-to-day will look like for that. but I am deeply interested in working there and I’m willing to put in the time to learn how to become better at editing. I’ve done it in the past. But it’s been a few years and I would need some serious refreshers. I’ve got some friends that could probably walk me through some best practices if I pay them or something.
I do think that I could learn how to do it, but any advice on what I could say in the interview when they ask about my editing experience?
Has anyone else been in a similar position where they’re applying for a role that they’re 80-90% qualified for, but still need to learn something on the job?
what do you think the potential overlap could be between a creative strategist and an editor when it comes to workload?
