Book Reviews
How To Get Into Advertising, 2nd Edition

This book is a valuable source of advice for anyone considering a career in advertising, media, or marketing communications. I know from my own experience of working with students, and advising them on career options, that there is a need for just this kind of book. It helps to bridge the 'information gap' for anyone on the outside of the industry, looking in.

This is not just a 'how to' book. It is a 'should you' book as well, which is one of the things I like most about it. Anyone reading the book will get a better understanding of whether a career in this hectic, demanding and out-of-the-ordinary industry is right for them.

The book looks at the business of advertising and each main career option, and provides help in everything from writing CVs to the type of courses that might be suitable.

Here's the full list of chapter headings:
