award-speech1Sisters and co-founders of FabJob Inc. Catherine Goulet (in red) and Therese "Tag" Goulet accepting the TELUS e-Business Award of Distinction from the Alberta Chambers of Commerce in 2002.

For years, sisters Tag and Catherine Goulet toyed with the prospect of going into business together. One day over lunch, they started throwing around ideas. "We were watching people walk by who looked stressed out and miserable, and we said, 'There's got to be something better.' That's when it clicked. Why don't we sell books to help people build their dream career?" — from the Woman's Day magazine article "Dare to Dream"


That lunch meeting happened in 1999. In the more than 20 years since then, FabJob.com has been visited by millions of people seeking a dream career. Our little Canadian Indigenous-owned family business, which we're delighted to say has an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau, has now sold millions of dollars in career guides to hundreds of thousands of career-changers on six continents (we're still waiting for our first customer from Antarctica).

FabJob named Regional Winner in 2016 Small Business Challenge sponsored by The Globe and Mail

Our mission is to serve fabulous people who are ready to have their dream career. But we don't try to do it all. Instead, we focus on popular careers that don't require a college degree. With a few exceptions, our FabJob guides offer advice for getting started in either a low-cost fab home business (such as event planner, interior decorator, or image consultant) or a fab brick-and-mortar business (such as a brewery, bridal salon, or spa).

Each FabJob guide contains expert advice from people who have achieved success in the particular career. Experts offering inside information and advice in FabJob guides include Olympic athletes, Emmy Award winners, best-selling authors, nationally recognized business leaders, and other industry experts.

dream-jobAn award-winning e-book industry "Internet pioneer" (as the Better Business Bureau describes us), our FabJob guides and career advice have been featured in leading media and sites including: ABC, AOL, CBS, CNN, Entrepreneur, Essence, Fast Company, Metro newspapers in Europe and New York, Microsoft’s MSN, Oprah’s newsletter, The Wall Street Journal, Woman’s Day, Woman’s World, Writer's Digest, Yahoo! and many more - even the movie Bewitched starring Nicole Kidman and Will Ferrell.

Over the years, we kept hearing from readers that they loved all the information in our guides, but they wanted a way to show prospective clients and employers how much they'd learned. So, in 2013, we created a series of online certificate courses based on popular FabJob guides. The online certificate courses are offered through our new division, the International Association of Professions Career College (IAP Career College).

One of the joys of being blessed with good fortune is giving back to the community. We have donated thousands of books to organizations for the unemployed, and we support independent book publishing through sponsorship of the Next Generation Indie Book Awards.

For over a decade, FabJob has also funded the protection of acres of rain forest through The Rainforest Foundation and the planting of hundreds of trees through American Forests. Among the other organizations we have donated to is The Education Trust, which advocates for the high academic achievement of all students — particularly those of color or living in poverty.

We offer free tuition to any Aboriginal or Indigenous person through our AMI Scholarships program at IAP Career College, and donate to Indspire, "an Indigenous-led registered charity that invests in the education of Indigenous people for the long term benefit of these individuals, their families and communities, and Canada."

    "I'm currently an English teacher in South Korea (returning to the States in a few months), so ordering a quick and simple ebook from FabJob.com prevented the hassles of having to order overseas. FabJob.com has given me the confidence to dive in, just like I've always wanted to, whereas before I felt shaky and without a mentor. I'll always go through this ebook for future questions especially during my first year. Thanks!"
    — Shannon Chapman, Chicago, Illinois (residing in S. Korea)

    "Thank you for the very hard work obviously put forth and the extensive research that must have been done to compile such an in-depth and relevant guide. I recommend fabjob for anyone who wants out of the rat race and to be out on their own."
    — Dylan Robinson, Kingston Springs, TN

    "I purchased the e-book three years ago and I have since started my own company. The book has been my living guide especially in my first year of operation. In many ways, I could not have gone through the starting year without it. This year I am expanding my operation and I was panic stricken for a while to find out that I lost the e-book. I wrote to FabJob about it and in less than an hour I received another copy of it. Congratulations to FabJob! You have great books and your customer service is amazing."
    — Athanasia Nointin, Sabah, Malaysia

    — Katie Martinis, Silver Spring, MD

    "I just downloaded your manual (yesterday) and can’t tell you how helpful it’s been to me. I have had the most difficult time finding resources so stumbling upon your web-site was striking the lottery for me. I can apply just about every great tip to my own job search. Thank you so much for this valuable resource!"
    — Jennifer Minniti, Portland, Oregon

    "Before reading the guide I was curious about getting into the field, but after reading the guide I am CONFIDENT! This guide answered every question I had and provided information I would have never thought of. I am meeting with my business partner this week to lay the plans to our new business and I have FabJob to thank for gathering what I needed to know in one reference. THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!"
