Job titles in social media are constantly evolving, so in this book, we’ve looked at the ways that social media jobs relate to three specific areas: Advertising and Marketing (which includes business management and development, market analysis, and fundraising); Communications (which includes writing, photography, videography, editing, and more), and Technology (which includes software and computer programming, project management, and more). This excellent reference presents possible career paths and occupations within high-growth and emerging fields in this industry.
Individual chapters range in length from 3,500-4,000 words and provide real-world insight into these professions, including:

Interesting enhancements, like Fun Facts, Famous Firsts, and dozens of photos, add depth to the discussion. A highlight of most chapters is 'Conversation With' – a two-page interview with a professional working in a related job. The respondents share their personal career paths, detail potential for career advancement, offer advice for students, and include a “try this” for those interested in embarking on a career in their profession.
Back matter of this title includes a Guide to Holland Code, a General Biblioghraphy, and a Subject Index.
