Artist Market Jobs

[Rabid]

Purchased this book and it has already mroe than paid for itself, wether your a graphic designer or more, this gives a comprehensive list of contacts, email, phone numbers, work the company looks for, head director names, everything. It's like getting a business card from every freelance industry/ full time company out there.

Hope it helps and enjoy!

And those who need a better guide to contract and oppurtunities for starters...I recommend this as well, this helps you build small time experience to help beef up your resume for that big job...

a review for the first book:
Every year these rip-off artists (i.e., people who specialize in the business of ripping off other people), publish an "updated" book. The updated books supposedly have been "completely revised" and feature new entries. I am here to tell you that not only are there very few new entries, but many are out of date, no longer pertinent and/or simply give inaccurate information. What is most frustrating is the author's insistence on marking several entries as "new" that have appeared in many previous editions. Perhaps they think if an entry has not appeared since 2002 they can throw it in the 2008 edition and call it new. Some of these places aren't even doing business anymore. Bottom line: I am extremely disappointed with this edition. I also must report that I have found no leads from these books, yet I have been successful finding leads on the Internet and through other forms of research. If you feel you need this book, go to a bookstore and take a pen and notebook with you. Just don't waste your money on buying it!
