Preparing for a Career in Media and Design / Edition 1

by Steven Carniol

Overview

Developed specifically for the media and design fields, this guide covers all aspects of career development and moves beyond simply landing a job offer.

Industry-specific chapters set this text apart and show readers how to protect their work, establish a freelance business, and evaluate opportunities within the field.
