I can’t thank you enough. Elizabeth went way past typical help. She polished my resume until my skills jumped off the page, made every section crisp and consistent, and tracked down every last detail for me. But honestly? The real win was her coaching me head-to-foot: from picking the right interview look down to how I should stand, smile, and even which words to use to hit hardest. She’s just not good, she’s the reason I’m sitting here now.

With real gratitude,

Harry R.

I want to let you know what an incredible experience I had working with Patrice & Associates. I worked directly with Liz Costa, and she was nothing short of incredible!

From the beginning it was clear that Liz was well prepared and very invested in me and my career. She helped me every step and her communication throughout the process was deliberate and extremely helpful.

Liz followed up after every call/interview and prepared me for success beforehand with questions and expectations so that I was never blindsided by anything. It truly felt like I had a partner there with me thanks to her insight!

I am very thankful for everything that Liz provided to me during this entire process and I can honestly say that her expertise and thoughtfulness were invaluable in making me the best candidate I could be!

Sincerely,

Chris L.

Chris L. says that working with Liz Costa was nothing short of incredible!

I can genuinely say that Liz is a true professional in her field and “expert” seems too informal of a term to offer as her talent is unmatched thus far in my career tenure of over 30 years.  She assured me that my resume deserved more than what I was even seeking and reminded me to ask for what I needed to further my career. Her diligence was incredible and I was pleasantly surprised when she texted and called me while on her own vacation.

I can’t thank her enough for all she has done.

Sincere regards,

Cathy M.

Cathy M. says that Liz Costa’s diligence was incredible!

I want to begin by thanking you for taking the time to read this.

As a candidate actively seeking employment, I was fortunate enough to be contacted by Liz Costa regarding a Floor Manager position. From the very first message on LinkedIn, I could sense her genuine desire to help. It wasn’t just another recruiter reaching out. Liz immediately stood out as someone who truly cared. From our very first conversation, she went above and beyond. She offered thoughtful, actionable feedback and guided me through improving my résumé and cover letter. What truly set her apart was her willingness to carve out time from her own schedule to help me prepare for the interview, even rehearsing with me to ensure I felt confident and ready.

In a job market that can feel discouraging and uncertain, Liz was a light of encouragement. She believed in me at a time when belief was hard to come by and that made all the difference. Her kindness, professionalism, and unwavering support turned a daunting process into an empowering journey. Liz is not only respectful and personable, but she’s also incredibly attentive, passionate, and authentic in every interaction.

Thanks to her guidance and encouragement, I’m proud to share that I’ve accepted an offer and will be starting my new role on May 9th. I’ll never forget the moment we celebrated together over the phone. It was a joyful, unforgettable reminder that compassion and dedication can truly change lives.

Liz, from the bottom of my heart thank you. Please never stop doing what you’re doing. You are not just helping people find jobs; you are restoring hope and changing lives. You are a true godsend.

With sincere gratitude,

Edga
