Not everyone can be a rock star, movie star, or NBA all-star, but that doesn't mean that you can't bask in at least a little limelight. There's just as much going on behind the scenes and off-court as there is in front of the cameras and mikes: acquisitions, legal affairs, production, publicity, talent, marketing--these are just a few of the job areas in which you can make your mark in the entertainment and sports industries. And there are jobs aplenty, though you'll find a lot of competition for them. The reason: Entertainment and sports is one of the last fields in which the little guy--or doll--can start at the bottom and claw to the top with hard work, resourcefulness, and a little bit of luck. Want the inside scoop? Off the record, on the QT, and very hush-hush. Turn to this Insider Guide to explore What's going on behind the scenes in acquisitions, development, legal affairs, production, publicity, talent, and marketing. Who the industry players are and what they do. Vertical integration and how it can make you happy or miserable. Where you should live--New York or LA--and why living anywhere else is a handicap. How to use entertainment buzzwords like a seasoned pro. What the culture is like and why it varies based on where and who you are in the industry. Your earning potential in these industries. How to manage your career. How the recruiting process works and what to do to get ready for your interviews.
