In their professional careers, most preservationists strive for a permanent job in a company whose existence is secured for the long term if possible. In this environment, it is important to be able to rely on each other. The best fit is to work in manageable areas and to be able to rely on clear organizational structures and work guidelines. The “ideal” company tends to be conservative and should particularly value values such as continuity, experience and sustainability.

Successful preservationists use the special experiences and skills corresponding to their personality, such as orderliness, loyalty, reliability, risk minimization and attention to all work processes.
