This review is from: How to Get a Job in the Music and Recording Industry (Music Business) (Paperback)
I bought that book because i would like to deal with music business and i wanted to have a brief overview about this type of business. I read that book and i have to say that this book is for people who want to work in business as sound engineers and songwriters but not for someone who want to work in financial, promotion, managment, marketing seagments. The 99% of examples are for people who seek for job as songwriters or sound engineering.Moreover the book is perfect for everyone who dose'nt have any preview idea of business and how the companies hire staff. I think that is a good book for everyone who want to know how to start in any kind of business generaly. So if you don't care about sound engineer or song writing maybe is better to look for something else, but if you plan to work in that area go on everything in this book is written for you.

Excellent,
This review is from: How to Get a Job in the Music and Recording Industry (Music Business) (Paperback)
Are you a record producer? A musician? A promoter? Or maybe you're just looking for a job related to music. This book is a must for those trying to land a job in the world of the fame and fortune, it has useful information with details ranging from the way you walk, act and talk at an interview up to detailed explanations of contracts and legal documents that you need to sign. Keith Hatschek's title has an airy structure and is a light read for people on the run to the next job interview. Recommended for the jobless producer, song writer, musician...and so on.

By Robyn Marie (Wisconsin) - See all my reviews
This review is from: How to Get a Job in the Music and Recording Industry (Music Business) (Paperback)
"How to Get a Job in the Music and Recording Industry" is a no-nonsense guide to how the industry really works in an easy to follow format. Mr. Hatschek has included valuable viewpoints from several music business professionals and a realistic course of action for organizing one's career goals. The resume writing and networking information is particularly helpful, and can be used by anyone seeking employment in any field in or outside the music industry.
