 ## Worker with Custom Serializer
 
 When creating a worker, you can pass in a custom serializer that will be implicitly passed to the queue.
-Serializers used should have at least `loads` and `dumps` method.
+Serializers used should have at least `loads` and `dumps` method. An example of creating a custom serializer 
+class can be found in serializers.py (rq.serializers.JSONSerializer).
 The default serializer used is `pickle`
 
 ```python
-import json
 from rq import Worker

-job = Worker('foo', serializer=json)
+job = Worker('foo', serializer=JSONSerializer)
 ```

 ```python

-w = Worker(Queue('foo'), serializer=json)

 Queues will now use custom serializer
