“How do I get a job in entertainment?” “I don’t know anyone who works in the industry, how do I rise to the top?” “I’m not a writer, actor or director, but I want to work in entertainment. What types of jobs can I do?” All questions people who aspire to work in entertainment frequently ask. The successful women you’ll hear from on this panel will give you their insightful point of view on how to break into the industry, the various opportunities available to you and how to navigate your career.
