What are the credentials of FabJob guide authors?

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.

What format is the guide in?

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.

What if I need help downloading or accessing the guide?

Downloading the guide is very easy.

Your eBook(s) is available in your account at https://fabjob.com/account. If you are not already logged in you can log into your account with the login credentials you created at checkout. Once logged in you will be able to view and download your eBook(s).

How much does it cost to buy a guide from FabJob?

Our guides have previously sold for up to $39.95 each online (up to $49.95 retail for a FabJob guide with CD-ROM). Because we wanted to make our guides available to as many people as possible, you can now get most FabJob e-books for only $19.97 U.S.

How do I pay for my guide?

A few credit card companies charge a small fee (under $2) for charges processed in a different country. If that happens to you, let us know and we will gladly reimburse you for any nominal fee charged by your credit card company.

Do you have a money-back guarantee?

Yes. We are so confident that FabJob e-books can help you achieve your dreams, we will give you a full refund if you notify us within 60 days that you're not happy with your purchase. Simply email fabcare@fabjob.com and we will refund your money, no questions asked, for the e-books you ordered as long as you have not initiated a dispute or chargeback with your credit card company. (We must fight and win chargeback claims to prevent paying a chargeback fee of $20 on top of the refund.) To prevent fraud, refunds will be made only to the credit card used for the purchase.

Can I interview you for a story?

If you are writing a story for a media outlet (magazine, newspaper, popular website, TV) in North America, contact us by email at fabcare@fabjob.com. All media interviews on behalf of FabJob are done by FabJob co-founder Tag Goulet.

Will you sell us your customer list?

Sorry, but the answer is no. We promise our customers we will not provide their personal information to any other companies.

Will you give me a certificate?

If you want to have a certificate in your dream career, you can find certificate courses based on FabJob guides at our affiliated career college, International Association of Professions Career College. IAP Career College offers affordable 6-week part-time career certificate courses online. For information, visit the IAP Career College website at www.iapcollege.com.

Can you give us a donation?

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.

Can I work for you?

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 over 20 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.

Will you hire me as a motivational speaker (or celebrity assistant, fashion designer, interior decorator, etc.)?

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.

What if I have a question that has not been answered here?

You can contact a customer care specialist by email at fabcare@fabjob.com.

"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!"

"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

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!
