Employment Prospects
Employers
Image consultants are typically self-employed. They operate their own consulting firms, which allows them to set their own schedules and select what services they wish to offer. Some image consultants may work full-time for large Fortune 1000 firms. Others are employed as consultants or full-time for government agencies and nonprofit organizations.
Starting Out
Some consultants land their first jobs through contacts made during internships or apprenticeships. If they attend college, their school's career services office may be able to connect them to job opportunities, or at least arrange career fairs at which they can meet potential employers. It may take three to five years to establish a corporate image consulting business.
