Household Movers

Employment Prospects

Employers

Moving companies may be local, regional, or national employers. Some retail furniture and department stores hire movers to deliver furniture, televisions, appliances, and other large objects to purchasers. In addition to working on household moves, workers are sometimes hired on a temporary assignment basis to help move and set up businesses.

Starting Out

To find a job as a household mover, contact moving companies directly. You also can look for job openings through online employment sites such as Indeed.com and Monster.com, newspaper classified ads, or the local offices of your state's employment service. Moving companies usually provide beginning moving assistants with detailed instructions on packing procedures and filling out inventory lists before they start work.
