Is a degree/post graduate course necessary?
The general view from employers is “yes”, particularly to demonstrate that you have a qualification to a certain level. However, it’s probably equally important to be able to show (in your CV and in an interview situation) that you have the right skills, knowledge, and ideally, experience for a particular role. In this industry, when a potential employer reads a CV they look for relevant EXPERIENCE first (see also FAQ 3 ). A degree/post grad course adds to this. It helps if the qualification is relevant to the role, but this is not absolutely necessary. Obviously a qualification relevant to the creative media industries is helpful, but other qualifications can be equally attractive to an employer. For example, someone looking for a TV researcher on a factual series would welcome a degree in a related subject.
