Intangible qualities will land you the job EVERY TIME!
Why your “certified” title isn’t landing jobs—and what studios are really seeing behind that label
Studios aren’t digging through resumes to check who has the fanciest certificate.
They’re watching how you teach, how you respond, and how clearly you explain what you know.
Because “certified” doesn’t always mean “prepared.”
There’s no single standard in this industry. One person’s certificate might come from a weekend course. Another’s might reflect 500+ hours of hands-on training.
Same word, very different meaning.
So what do studios actually care about when hiring?
OF COURSE they care about good teaching skills, but it doesn’t stop there!
They care about the intangible qualities that set YOU apart!
