Jerek S. says he highly recommends this avenue if you are seeking a career!I have never used a career recruiter successfully before, with Mrs. Donavan and Patrice and associates I am now employed 3 weeks into a management training program. I was idle for 5 months without a recruiter, and it took Mrs. Donavan about 5 days to get me in contact with the program. She helped me tighten up my resume, tips and tricks and what to expect from this specific employer. I highly recommend this avenue if you are seeking a career and need a little help chiseling away at your portfolio to succeed.
Thanks again! Darla Donavan and Patrice and associates
