Your Career

Most Senior Living executives we approach are not actively in the job market. Frequently, they are quality Senior Living Executives in satisfactory situations interested only in having exceptional career opportunities brought to their attention. Here are a few considerations:

  • To leverage your career to its maximum, you will probably make several timely job changes over the course of your working life.
  • Give careful thought to your professional goals and what you must do in order to achieve them.
  • Define your values with respect to your work and desired quality of life.
  • Make us aware of your qualifications, goals and values, so we can approach you with those opportunities that are consistent with your objectives.
  • In this era of corporate restructuring and downsizing, anyone can lose a good job with little notice. Therefore, it’s a good idea to establish an early relationship with SRA – The Zike Group. If you should unexpectedly lose your job, we’ll be ahead of the game by already knowing the kinds of opportunities that will be attractive to you.
