It takes years to become a perfectionist at it. This skill is learnt through gradual practice and therefore should be learnt with great amounts of patience.

2. The other important skill for a Video Jockey is to have excellent time management skills. They should know how to plan and divide their time among various tasks and activities in order to be more efficient and productive. Remember time wastage could be the biggest mistake in this profession and you can never afford to do that.

3. Video Jockeys need to have extra ordinary communication skills. They have to be right on the target while having the conversations, shooting or the interviews. The excellent communication skills help them to be more impressive and productive in their work. Therefore the are very much required.

4. Another important skill for Video Jockeys is to have the team management skills.
