Sarah is amazing! From the very first phone-call she made me feel excited that she could help me with my long winded Government resume. Sarah is caring and gave me the confidence I needed to believe in myself that there is a need for someone like me with twenty years of experience with no college degree and a woman in her fifties. My resume was professional and condensed with all the important information in just one page versus my six page Government resume that I was previously applying for jobs with no interest. From the very first week i received my Professional resume from Sarah I would receive e-mails of interest for an interview. Sarah was always available and never made me feel like I was a bother. She even shared some tricks with me in applying on Indeed to get specific jobs with a specific salary being set up to my email. Sarah raised the bar for me in encouraging me to put the highest salary desired that I made as a Government worker. Just the other day I was offered a great job with an amazing company and the desired salary I put in for. I know my resume made the difference in getting this job! Thank you Sarah for believing in me when i did not believe in myself and for all your hard work, effort and excitement in helping me get the perfect job that God had planned for me all along. I will be forever grateful! God Bless you and your beautiful family. read more

I have the distinction of being Sarah Rivera's longest tenured client. I gave Sarah almost nothing... My entire work experience consisted of one highly-specialized job in an obsolete industry. I was there so long that I didn't even have a written resume for over a decade. And the nature of my job was almost impossible to explain to someone outside of my industry. I wasn't even sure what sort of work I was even qualified for anymore. I was desperate for a change with no idea how I was going to make that happen. Despite all my shortcomings, Sarah somehow managed to produce a perfectly crafted and professional resume containing everything a recruiter would want to see. Seriously, what she did was nothing short of magic. Even though it still took almost 2 years for me to find a new gig, Sarah was always there to help me prepare for interviews, follow up with recruiters, or just to keep my hopes up. I am eternally indebted to Sarah for helping me take the next step in my career, something that I simply would not have been able to do on my own. If your resume needs a miracle, than Sarah Rivera is your guardian angel! read more

I honestly can't say enough about my exceptional experience with Sarah at First Impression Resumes. When I called First Impression Resumes I already had an interview scheduled, which meant I needed a new resume fast! Sarah understood how important this was for me. She prioritized my request, going so far as to meet with me on her son's birthday in order to deliver the completed resume in a matter of days! She listened, documenting my skills and accomplishments expertly. She coached me on what to say during my interview, and how to say it! She even remembered the date of my interview and reached out to me the day before to wish me luck and offer additional encouragement. The entire process was amazing! Sarah really did help me see, and appreciate my value. I suddenly feel confident and empowered! I never expected such a positive experience when I simply set out to update my resume. Now I have a fancy new resume and LinkedIn profile I am proud to share.

I want to thank Sarah for taking the time to write a comprehensive resume for me. I really appreciated the thought and effort she put into making sure the resume suited my personality and current needs. I believe the modern format she developed for me will impress prospective employers who are open to offering various job opportunities to a retired educator. We worked together back and forth as a team and she was not satisfied until my new up-to-date resume was perfectly up to my satisfaction. She really heard and acknowledged what was the essence of who I am and what I was trying to achieve via the written word. She also helped me to develop a cover letter, LinkedIn profile and motivated me by giving me 'homework' assignments to ask for professional/personal recommendations, as well as to start the job search on the internet. Sarah, I truly appreciate your talent and ability for taking my years of experience, along with my transferable skills and making them stand out in today's job market. read more

I cannot even begin to describe what Sarah has done for me! As a recent graduate I had little experience and even less of an idea of what jobs to apply to. Sarah not only produced two, very different, resumes, but she spent time with me job searching and helping me sort out a career path. I gave her a resume that was out-dated in its format and style and was given back a completely made-over, resume that was modern and sleek. The end product was two, beautiful resumes that highlighted my skills, talents, experiences and passions. She was attentive to my goals and talents, which helped tailor my resumes to reflect my professional self. I cannot recommend Sarah enough! read more

She thoroughly walked me through how to tailor my resume and cover letter to prospective employers, and even wrote me a resume and cover letter for a company that I chose. Thank you so much for the amazing job Sarah! It was totally worth it, and I really appreciate it! read more
