nice to meet you

hi! i’m Tim.

Before launching Impress Resume on Etsy, I began my career in housekeeping and was later promoted to Hiring Manager at a local hotel. In that role, I was responsible for staffing and quickly realized how many resumes I came across were unprofessional, not ATS-friendly, and poorly designed. Many of the templates used from popular job search sites were difficult to read and time-consuming to review.

While earning a modest income, I decided it was time to look for a better-paying opportunity. I created my own resume from scratch, and the results were impressive—so much so that friends began asking me to redesign their resumes. After using the versions I created, several of them landed new jobs within a week.

This inspired me to open an Etsy store, where I offered affordable, high-quality resume templates. Without any advertising, my shop reached 100 sales within the first few months. That early success confirmed that I had found a meaningful way to support job seekers—by offering digital products paired with resources like writing and editing guides.

From day one, my mission has remained the same: to create high-impact, strategic tools that empower job seekers.

Today, I work as a Recruiting Specialist at a local staffing agency, where I’ve deepened my expertise and gained insider knowledge of the hiring process and reviewing resumes. I’ve since expanded my collection of resume templates, and through them, I’ve helped over 5,000 individuals secure employment, transition careers, earn promotions, and land jobs that align better with their goals.
