"Working as a paralegal for the past ten years while taking care of my kids, I have found it hard to get my foot in the door for more serious positions. I thought I might have been presenting myself poorly, so I paid for a resume edit. The new version was so different and more detailed than my original. If only I had thought of this stuff ten years ago! Thanks for helping me with this. After completing coursework for my degree this term, I think I may finally be able to land a new position."
—R.W. , Manchester, NH |

Why Use Preferred Resumes?

Our Mission
The following five guiding principles help us measure the appropriateness of our business decisions:
| CORE VALUE 1 |
WE MUST GET PEOPLE JOBS |
| Core Observation |
The reason our jobs exist is to get people jobs. |
 |
 At Preferred Resumes we are inspired by this quote because we are in the business of getting people jobs. We measure our own success by how closely we come to achieving this goal. 
Work is the most important component of life—it takes the most of our time and determines the quality of our existence. Helping others to work is among the most important tasks there is. We better the lives and futures of others.
—Harrison Barnes
|
We are in the business of preserving and improving human life. All of our actions must be measured by the success in achieving this goal.
—Merck & Company, Internal Management Guide
|
 |
At Preferred Resumes we are inspired by this quote because we are always cognizant
that the work we do is for the job seeker. The more we have stayed true to this vision the
better we have done.
I want to ... express the principles upon which we in company have endeavored to live up to ... Here is how it sums up: We try to remember that medicine is for the patient. We try never to forget that medicine is for the people. It is not for the profits. The profits follow, and if we have remembered that, they have never failed to appear. The better we have remembered it, the larger they have been.
—George Merck II

CORE VALUE 2 |
WE MUST DOMINATE THE MARKET OF FINDING JOBS |
| Core Observation |
In order to dominate the market, we must be the best branded business in our field. |
 |
At Preferred Resumes we are inspired by this quote because we believe in what we do and in survival. In order to prosper and carry our message forward, we need to be the best in our field.
To my imagination it is far more satisfactory to look at [well-adapted] species not as specially endowed or created instincts, but as small consequences of one general law leading to the advancement of all organic beings — namely, multiply, vary, let the strongest live and the weakest die.
—Charles Darwin, Origin of Species
|
CORE VALUE 3 |
WE CONSTANTLY CHANGE THE RULES OF THE GAME |
| Core Observation |
Consumers tend to jump on the bandwagons leading up, and jump off those leading down. A band with positive direction attracts buyers; one with negative direction repels them. |
 |
At Preferred Resumes we are inspired by this quote because we believe that we must constantly advance and get better and better at what we do.
You can't just keep doing what works one time, because everything around you is always changing. To succeed, you have to stay out in front of that change.
—Sam Walton
|
CORE VALUE 4 |
WE MUST CONSTANTLY USE TECHNOLOGY TO DRIVE INNOVATION |
| |
We respect technology at Preferred Resumes and realize its value to who we are as a group. One of the first things that happened with the founding of this company was the investment in technology. This investment continues to this day.
Our database and technology is one of the most significant ways in which we communicate and assist with building our company.
Constant awareness in the need to invest in products and ideas will drive us forward.
|
CORE VALUE 5 |
WE MUST CONSTANTLY BE A TEAM |
| |
We are all a team with the objective of getting people jobs.
