While these early chapters define multi-taskers and describe "thinking like a modern moonlighter" (the title of chapter 3), which should already be part of our twenty-first century mindset, the final five chapters prove far more useful by actually helping someone manage the slash effect. The book provides suggestions for resumes, business cards, and websites when you’re juggling multiple careers. Specific examples of these are included in the appendix.

The author features sidebars throughout the text, uses boldface type to emphasize important ideas, and concludes each chapter with key points titled "Getting to Slash." The text is packed with descriptive interviews of people with slash careers, but is light on analysis of this trend toward multi-tasking. With very few exceptions, One Person/Multiple Careers highlights people living and working in the New York City area. While Alboher’s book may be just what the big city dweller needs to make next month’s rent payment and achieve self-fulfillment, it might not prove as helpful to those people in mid-sized cities and small towns whose personal and career choices are more limited.
