Special Note from Patrice

2020 was a year to remember, or forget.  We all know hospitality was one of the hardest hit industries.  The restaurants that survived had to “pivot” to stay afloat.  Carry out, curbside pick up, and delivery all became the “norm”.  Restaurants and Patrice & Associates pivoted together. The pandemic is […]

Mike Buterbaugh is genuine and caring

I honestly didn't know what to expect from Patrice & Associates. Upon my first time speaking with Mr. Mike Buterbaugh, I was instantly put at ease with his genuine approach to helping me find the best fit for me overall in my next career decision. Not only did he coach me on how to drastically improve my resume, he also had me an interview within a couple of days. I have never had an experience quite like this during a job search, but I would definitely give 5 stars to this company and their recruiting team. I have gained a new career that not only met my salary expectations, but balances with my personal life as well. Thanks again for your help, and although I don't plan to be on a search again, if the need arises, they will definitely be my first point of contact.

Mike Buterbaugh was AWESOME!

I applied for a General Manager position that your company was advertising for, Mike Buterbaugh was my recruiter. He fixed my resume up and submitted it to the company I was applying for. He coached me through all three interviews and I am happy to say that I got the position! I have worked with other recruiters and only had phone interviews. Mike produced results, he was great!

Many Thanks,

Danny North was wonderful to work with!

He is a constant professional. Danny helped guide me through the resume set up process along with helping me highlight some of my key attributes. He was always available when I reached out to him, whether it was by email or the phone. Danny was a great resource to have since he was once in the Restaurant Industry. It was quite honestly like working with a Restaurant Insider. Danny, I appreciate your honesty, advice and more importantly your professionalism. Thank you for your help in finding my new career.

   

Warm Regards,
