    Why talk to Jessica Pai?

    Tae Chung joined K&L Gates's Seattle office in the Intellectual Property group.

    I strongly recommend Jessica as your partner in searching for your next career move. From the beginning, she exactly understood what I was looking for in my next position and consistently communicated potential openings that fit my goals. For interviews, we did interview preparations together, which gave me so much confidence going into the interviews and eventually led to a success. The support didn't end there. Even after I started the new job, she followed up to check how I was settling in, and I sincerely felt supported and genuinely cared for. For anyone seeking a recruiter they can truly rely on, Jessica is an excellent choice and someone you will want to work with. Strongly recommended.
