Demo reel is most important. Experience afterwards. Good personality wouldn't hurt either. user added image

Your stuff is real good, I think you have a good chance of getting a job.

I think the problem is to find a company that is the need to hire someone with your skills.

I think people's skills are more important than your own industrial/artistic/technical skills. The ability to work with a team and provide the best you can do is the key for success.

Don´t think a firefighter will put out a fire, if he only knows how to talk with his partners.

I´d say, best to have everything in you. As long as there´s someone with a problem that you can solve, you will be okay. If you want to have a partner, or even a team, then your people skills will matter, but not as much as the gist of whatever you DO know.

I think it's a little of both. People skills will get you job, oftentimes, but your technical skills will help you to keep it.

A poor plumber may make friends among the management, but if his work sucks (er, bad pun, sorry) then even his golf game won't help him keep his job.
An excellent plumber with a few holes in his social skills may rub his management the wrong way, but if he's often requested by the customer and makes them money, they tend to overlook that.

The ideal employee, of course, is the excellent trademan with great social skills. Those, generally, are few and far between in my experience :/

Well, I have heard of people who were not necessarily doing a bad job but were let go because of their horrible attitudes. Overall, though, you're probably right.
