We call it the Caring Gene®. If you do have it, you’re in good company. But maybe, like so many others out there, you don’t always have the opportunity to use it.
If you think you’ve got it, you have the opportunity of a lifetime: a career in the caring industry. You don’t need experience in healthcare…or a college education. Just a desire to do what you love—help others.
And trust us, they’re going to love you right back.
There’s nothing quite like the personal satisfaction that comes with making a difference in the lives of others. And believe us, in the caring industry, you will be making a difference every day.
Help people in need
As a healthcare worker you’ll be assisting individuals, young and old, who truly need you. And unlike at some jobs, they’ll come to appreciate you, love you and rely on you.
Develop lifelong friendships
That kind of day-to-day connection with patients and family members is rare in any other industry. We can say with confidence: you’ll truly make friends for life. And as we all know, you can never have too many friends.
Give the gift of dignity
The work can be challenging—you’re helping people who can’t help themselves. But, while it can be tough, when you treat them with kindness, understanding and compassion, you give them a renewed sense of dignity.
Feel appreciated
Know what it’s like to go home every day and feel appreciated? Like you did something truly worthwhile? Not everyone does. But in the caring industry you’ll feel appreciated every single day. And that’s a pretty good feeling.
Feel the love
Don’t just take our word for it, see how some of our Caring Gene® peeps feel about their career:
“I love this job because it makes me feel appreciated in a sense I never felt before.”
Jake
“I’ve always been a person that loves to help others. And many of my family members were CNAs. It was just something I was destined to do.”
Angie
“It’s one of the few jobs I’ve had that after a long, hard day I go home and feel pretty good about myself.”
Latisha
“You can really see it. You’re not only helping a patient, you’re helping their families as well.”
Carol
“You really have to care about people and put yourself in their shoes. This is someone’s mother. This is someone’s sister. Eventually, you come to think of them as family, too.”
Monica
