Frequently Asked Questions

FabJob Inc. is the leading publisher of career guide books on how to get started in a dream career. Established online at www.FabJob.com in 1999, FabJob is an award-winning organization, named "the #1 place to get published online" by Writer’s Digest, with an A+ rating from the Better Business Bureau. Our company and career guides have been featured in media ranging from ABC to Oprah’s newsletter and major news sites ranging from CNN to the Wall Street Journal online. You can read more about us by clicking on the ABOUT US link at the top of this page.

FabJob guides typically range from 240 to 360 pages of searchable information about how to get started in a specific dream career. Most guides include information about: how to do the job, how to get experience, how to get hired, how to start a business, how to set your fees or prices, and how to get clients or customers. You can read a detailed list of topics covered in each guide on the page for that particular guide. Click on the GUIDES link at the top of this page to find links to each FabJob guide.

Since being named "the #1 place to get published online" by Writer's Digest several years ago, we have been fortunate to attract outstanding guide authors. Some FabJob guides have been written by experts in a particular career field, but most FabJob guides are written by one or more professional writers whose research includes interviewing multiple experts who have achieved success in the career. Most of the FabJob guide pages mention some of the experts interviewed for that particular guide.

We won't comment specifically about other online publishers, but we can assure you of a few things about FabJob. FabJob guides are exceptionally high quality publications, some of which have been used as textbooks and in the library collections of respected academic institutions ranging from the University of Texas to the Fashion Institute of Technology. All FabJob guides are professionally edited by English-speaking editors, and the testimonials on our website are by real people. FabJob also offers a 100% risk-free money-back guarantee on e-books, unlike publishers whose "satisfaction guarantee" does not allow refunds for e-books.

The guide is an e-book in PDF format. To download and read the guide you need the current version of Adobe Reader. Most people already have Adobe Reader on their computer. If you need it, you can download it free at http://get.adobe.com/reader.

Downloading the guide is very easy.

FabJob has provided ongoing support to several charitable and non-profit organizations, including The Rainforest Foundation, American Forests, and the Next Generation Indie Book Awards. From time to time we also donated proceeds of guide sales to specific charities, as we have done with the Red Cross Hurricane Katrina Disaster Relief Fund, the New York Firefighters 9-11 Disaster Relief Fund, the Children's Burn Foundation, and the Laughter Heals Foundation, and we have also donated thousands of FabJob guides to the unemployed through Working Wardrobes, a nonprofit that helps men and women in crisis re-enter the workforce. If you represent a registered charitable organization, you can request a donation by contacting us at fabcare@fabjob.com.

If you are a refugee or indigenous person you may be eligible to receive a scholarship for an IAP Career College course.

If you would like a rewarding position with a leading indie book publisher, we invite you to apply to work with FabJob. If we're a fit for you and you're a fit for us, you will join an organization that good workers want to stay with; the first two people we hired 15 years ago are still with us and our best contractors typically return to work with us again and again. Because of our extremely low turnover, we rarely have job openings, however we do keep resumes for future opportunities.

We are interested in hearing from you if you have any of the following skills: book design using InDesign, web development in WordPress and WooCommerce, social media marketing, online research, curriculum development, customer service, project coordination, media relations, academic writing, editing non-fiction, business coaching (for faculty member positions with our affiliated college). If you want to work with us, see our current job openings at our IAP Career College site.

No. FabJob is a publishing company, not an employment agency. We publish guides about how to get hired in these and other career fields, but we don't do the hiring ourselves.
