The book first introduces the business in film industry as a whole, so readers can have a general overview of the industry. Then the later chapters have been divided into sections that describe each department in film production and publicity, and what kind of jobs is offered. In each chapter, many questions are asked to make the reader thinking about whether this job is a good fit. Sample questions are like "What do I really need to know", "What will my life really be like (a daily schedule of a person working in that department", etc. The book also offers job hunting strategy and information on salary.
