A crucial step to getting your foot on the first rung of the ladder is finding out exactly what it is that you want to do.

It covers: what each job entails and which ones will be most suited to you, the benefits of embarking on media-related courses, how to get work experience and make the most of it, how to write a good CV and shine at the interview, and how to get ahead - and stay ahead - on the job. A chapter entitled 'The Story of a Shoot' will give you an insight into the real, day-to-day workings of the industry. The book is backed-up by quotes from managers, personnel people and top film-makers throughout.
