I had spoken with Katie a month or so before about a different opportunity that didn’t pan out. She had promised to keep her eyes and ears open for anything that came up. True to her words, Katie reached out with an opportunity and with her explanation to the company of my skill set and positive interactions, I received an offer and accepted within a week. Very much appreciated the effort she made to help.
Thank you

Chef Brandon L. says he appreciated Katie’s efforts!
The biggest problem I had prior to working with Katie was I was getting first interviews, but then I was not getting any response after that. But after working with Katie, she made the process so much easier and was a delight to work with. I am most excited about opening a new concept and having it be the benchmark for all future outlets that the company builds.
Thank you to your whole company for making this process so much easier for me.
