RESUMES



Resumes or curriculum vitae, cover letter or letter of interest — these are different words which mean essentially the same thing. PREP is a company which began preparing resumes in 1982, and more than 35 years later, a great resume is still the key to getting an interview with the ultimate goal of getting the job offer.

How you use a great resume has changed a lot over the years — you may email it or post it in addition to sending it to a friend, putting a paper copy directly in the hands of an employer, sending it a headhunter, and many other forms of distribution.

PREP has written professional resumes and cover letters for people in varying situations, from individuals who have worked only part-time or in volunteer capacities, to executives in every industry seeking advancement in their field or changing careers.

You can fill out our online resume form. Any old resumes you have can be uploaded on the form or sent by e-mail. Relevant paperwork such as job vacancy descriptions or performance evaluations can be sent via e-mail. Although we often create a versatile, all-purpose resume, we always seek to get a clear understanding of what you really want the resume to do for you and what type of work you hope for, so that we can do everything possible to help you achieve your goals.


Military:

This resume is for current or recently retired military members. Located near Fort Bragg, one of the country's largest military bases, PREP has been translating military documentation into marketable resumes for almost 30 years. You can fill out our online resume form or any old resumes you might have can be uploaded on the form or sent by e-mail.
