Dear seekers,
I would like to tell you about the amazing experience I had working with Scott Jacobson of Patrice and Associates. In my twenty plus years working as an executive chef I have worked with many career advancement and placement specialists, but none who took the time and directed care that Scott provided me. His primary goal was to understand exactly what I was
looking for and to tirelessly work towards that end. He focused on my objectives and opened many doors for me. He gave me invaluable insights into the positions I was considering and guided me as a friend and confidant would. He understood my strengths and presented me in my most favorable light. Through his research and diligence he assembled the most pertinent references for me, highlighted my experiences and career achievements. He found me the exact job that I was looking for. He was instrumental in
negotiating my contract and made sure I was satisfied with every aspect of
that contract. His work did not end there. Scott has contacted me at
various stages of my employment just to check in, and most importantly, to
see how I was doing. Thank you kindly Scott for going above and beyond your
duties. It was a pleasure getting to know you. Any of you fortunate enough
to work with Scott will quickly find all of this to be evident.
Sincerely,
Chef Jonathan Pflueger
Scott found me the exact job that I was looking for.
