Colleen Casey went above and beyond.
Colleen Casey of Patrice & Associates helped me obtain a Payroll position. She helped build my confidence and mentored me through the interview process. In my past career searches I have worked with other career agencies and never experienced the service I received working with Colleen. She became my mentor with building up my confidence and how to go about interviewing for the company I have accepted my current position. I would recommend the company, but would definitely tell anyone to contact Colleen if they are looking for a new position in the future.
Thank you,
Dorinda Sperry
