From Layoff to Calling: The Story Behind Riveting Resumes
At Riveting Resumes, we offer more than just professional resume writing services—we offer empathy, strategy, and career-changing results. Born from personal experience, this service was built on the real challenges of navigating a career transition after a layoff. I’ve personally been through a reduction in force (RIF) and understand the anxiety, self-doubt, and urgency that come with starting over.
That journey gave me more than perspective—it uncovered a true passion and talent for writing compelling, customized resumes that help people move forward with confidence. I began helping friends, colleagues, and eventually clients turn their stories into interview-winning resumes that reflect who they really are and where they want to go.
Today, Riveting Resumes exists to empower job seekers with strategic, keyword-optimized resumes designed to get past Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) and into the hands of hiring managers. Whether you're re-entering the workforce, changing careers, or seeking a resume rewrite after a layoff, I provide tailored resume solutions that highlight your unique strengths and help you stand out in a competitive job market.
This isn’t just a job—it’s a calling. I’m here to help you tell your story, showcase your value, and land the role you deserve—one powerful resume at a time.

The Best Part of Resume Writing? Helping You Land the Job.
What drives me as a professional resume writer is seeing the real-world results—like when a client emails to say they finally landed their dream job or successfully broke into a new career field after months of getting no responses. That’s the impact a well-crafted, ATS-optimized resume can make.
Knowing that my work helped open that door—that the resume we created together helped them stand out and get hired—is the ultimate reward. A resume isn’t just words on a page; it’s a powerful tool that shapes someone’s future. I’m proud to offer custom resume writing services that help people change their lives, one opportunity at a time.
