Hi, I'm Gayle Petrillo, owner of First Impressions.
Please check out my video introduction and let's talk!
About Us
Gayle Petrillo, MBA, has coached individuals, and consulted with large and small companies for more than 25 years. She has held leadership positions in for-profit and non-profit organizations. Gayle's expertise includes operations, human resources, finance, strategic planning, customer relations and business development. Additionally, she has worked in healthcare; financial services; television; and retail, selling men's and women's designer clothing, and accessories.
Our services are uniquely different. With Gayle’s background in human resources, she has seen the good, bad and ugly in resumes and interview presentation skills. Additionally, her awareness of the acute need for customer service training in every sector serves as the foundation for her passion for training imperative skill-sets, drawing on Disney principles which can be applied across the business spectrum.
Client Testimonials
I recently had the pleasure of using Gayle's guidance in creating a very professional looking resume for my friend. I gave Gayle a very rough looking resume and she created a very professional looking resume that got my friend in the door at two different companies. The flow of the resume was corrected and his job experiences were put into a format employers are looking for. I truly believe without her expertise in making the needed improvements to his resume he would not have had the opportunity to interview with either company. If someone needs help with their resume and the interview process, I would highly recommend Gayle's First Impressions services.
