A great quote from Thomas W. Bohn (Dean, Roy H. Park School of Communications at Ithaca College) calls this book, "The What Color is Your Parachute for the communications field." This book has the steps you need to take if you're looking to establish a career in the realm of film or television.Ms. Gordon is an accomplished executive in the world of film and television and calls upon her vast experience to help take the mystery out of breaking into the entertainment field. Any number of books can tell you how to write the perfect resume or how to conduct yourself in a job interview, but Ms. Gordon provides detailed instructions that are specific to entertainment and media.
She not only provides information on how to get that elusive first job, but also how to keep a job and then how to continue to advance your career.
Ms. Gordon provides everything from tips on internships to the ins and outs of the production world.
This is definitely one book that all budding (and rising) young entertainment job seekers must have on their shelf.
