The publishing industry constantly needs new faces to come in and apply their knowledge to the industry. Publishing is no longer just for college graduate English and Journalism majors, but for everyone who has a degree that makes them think, whether it's Finance, English, or Math, there is a place in the publishing world for them.

The major sections of a publishing company are business, marketing, editing, and design. There are jobs for every type of person with unique knowledge to enhance the work load in the publishing industry. For example, a Finance major could work in either the sales department or accounting. A History major could work in anything from editing to working on legal contracts. People's special skills are only enhanced by working in the publishing field.

Since the industry is so broad, each track to getting a job in the field is very unique. However, no matter what field you are looking into, an internship is always a beneficial asset. Make sure it is something that is related to the publishing field, such as a magazine or newspaper, no matter the department. This way when a publishing company goes to consider you in the future, they can see that you have experience in that department.

It is important to network with people within the publishing industry. The more people you know, the more knowledge and skills you can gain just through association. This is another important step in the process, as these people can be used as references in the future.

Lastly, make sure your resume truly represents who you are and what you have accomplished before you send it out to anyone in the publishing industry. Make sure that all relevant information pertaining to the position you are applying for is included. If you do not have experience in the field, highlight classes and other relevant information to show your willingness to learn the craft. Before meeting you, your resume is the only impression a potential job interviewer has of you, so you need to put your best foot forward.

Over all, there are jobs available for anyone in the publishing industry, you just need to put yourself on the correct track to success to acquire one of those many high desired jobs. These are jobs that are building on a passion for the industry and the people that are within it. If you love what you do, you are sure to succeed in the publishing world!
