From the very beginning, Liz demonstrated an exceptional level of professionalism, communication, and dedication. In today’s hospitality industry, it can sometimes be difficult to find recruiters who truly listen and understand what candidates are looking for, but Liz absolutely stood out. She took the time to understand my background, experience, career goals, and what type of opportunity would be the best fit for me long-term.

Throughout the entire process, Liz was incredibly supportive and responsive. She consistently kept me updated, prepared me well for each step, and always made me feel that she genuinely cared about helping me succeed rather than simply filling a position. Her communication was clear, timely, and honest, which made a huge difference and gave me confidence throughout the process.

What impressed me the most was her persistence, attention to detail, and positive attitude. Even when the process involved multiple steps and scheduling coordination, Liz remained patient, organized, and encouraging. She handled everything with professionalism and made what could have been a stressful process feel smooth and manageable. Because of Liz’s hard work and guidance, I was able to secure an opportunity that I am truly excited about and grateful for. I sincerely appreciate everything she and the Patrice & Associates team have done for me.

I would absolutely recommend Liz Costa and Patrice & Associates to anyone in the hospitality industry looking for professional representation and strong career opportunities.

Warm regards,

Yidi

From the moment I started working with Liz Costa, everything changed. She was incredibly thorough in understanding not just my resume, but my career aspirations, strengths, and what I was really looking for in my next role. Her communication was consistent and clear throughout every stage — I never felt left in the dark. Beyond that, her coaching was genuinely invaluable. She helped me prepare with confidence, gave me honest and constructive feedback, and kept me motivated even during the moments when I doubted myself. She had a real talent for bringing out the best in me. The outcomes I’m most excited about are the ones that go beyond just a new title. I’m stepping into a role that brings a fresh challenge I’ve been craving, while also offering the work-life balance that I was missing before. It’s the right fit both professionally and personally, and I genuinely believe I wouldn’t be here without Liz’s guidance.

Thank You,

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.
