About a Career as a Personal Shopper

Although shopping is North America's favorite leisure activity, in our busy society an increasing number of people need to hire someone to do their shopping.

Personal shoppers are employed by some of the finest retail companies in North America, including Bloomingdale's, Holt Renfrew, Neiman Marcus, Nordstrom, Saks Fifth Avenue, Tiffany & Co. and others.

There are few jobs that offer so many benefits. As a personal shopper, you will have a job that is fun, interesting, and rewarding. If you start your own personal shopping business you will enjoy the freedom of being your own boss.

  • Finding the perfect gifts for companies to give to their important clients
  • Buying groceries and other items for senior citizens and other people who find it difficult to get around

  • Working as a personal shopper for a boutique, department store, or shopping center
  • Being hired by busy executives to buy gifts for their employees or family

    I just wanted to let you know how amazing I think your site is. It has changed my life. I thought owning my own business was just a dream but you have made it a reality. I just moved to Las Vegas and opened my own image consultant/personal shopping business. I bought both of your guides (on image consulting and personal shopping) and put my business together. Now I have my own business and am very busy doing what I love. Thanks again.”

    Your personal shopper guide is fabulous! I had been searching for information on how to become a personal shopper without success, so it was exciting to finally find your guide.

    Become a Personal Shopper has been the best and the most encouraging self help book I have read! I had aspirations 30 years ago on becoming a Personal Shopper, and did so for my friends long before I was aware of how I could turn this into my dream job. This is where your book comes into play! WOW. Do I love this book! It was all I could do to put it down. I could not get enough of it. I have read many chapters over and over. My own business is just beginning and I can’t say thank you enough for the fantastic help you have given me. I remain a fan and have even seen the next FabJob book I intend to buy.”

      "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)

      — 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!

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!"
