Read moreMichael P. says working with Ryan Shanklin was an amazing experience!I wanted to thank Patrice and Associates and particularly Ryan Shanklin for giving me
absolute professional assistance in getting hired at my new job as a manager for Applebee’s. I
will give you the long story of the difference P&A and Ryan made and feel free to edit it down
However, you would like for your marketing materials. I was living in Fredericksburg, VA., taking
care of my elderly parents and had applied online and driven to the Applebee’s in
Fredericksburg for an unscheduled interview. As it turned out, the GM was there and was willing
to speak with me. At the conclusion of the interview, the GM decided not to hire me because I
had recently completed courses in cybersecurity and he felt that as soon as a cyber firm
contacted me I would leave for that position. After applying for a different location with
Applebee’s I was contacted by Ryan. I explained the situation and my recent experience. He
and I worked together and through his resume coaching, I was able to get a sit-down interview
with the Area Manager for the Alexandria location. The AM and I hit it off and I was hired.
Ironically, the Applebee’s location that I have been training at for the last 7 weeks is under the
area manager that is also the AM for the Fredericksburg location that I had interviewed with and
was not hired. Ryan has maintained contact with me to see how things are going and have been
a friendly voice through the training process. Years ago, I worked in telecommunications and
went through many years of being headhunted by some recruiters. During that period of time, I
never experienced the professionalism and friendly interaction that I have had with Ryan and
Patrice and Associates. It has been an amazing experience and frankly, at a time when it was
truly needed. Thank you for all you have done and I would definitely recommend qualified
individuals partner with Patrice and Associates to reach their employment goals.
Thank You,
Michael P.
