A few key traits this new hire must possess with no exception are noted in the following. If you do not possess these qualities, the position will likely not workout in the future so please be considerate of these items before you apply and make a drastic change in your life:
1. A “can do” attitude. When challenges are thrown at you, you do not panic, you determine the best course of action with a smile and finish the job the right way the first time. There is no doubt if this is not your personality, that the position will not be a good fit.
2. Ability to address property owner issues quickly. SCA hears often from property owners. We are here to serve them and address any issues as quickly as possible.

3. You are a synthesizer. You can pull seemingly divergent pieces of information together to solve problems in unique ways.
4. Creative problem-solving is your thing! You are a people person and are excited by ideas, the future, and the possibility of using your imagination to serve others. You aim high and your head is sometimes in the clouds, but you never leave the analytical and realistic out of the equation, knowing that you're accountable for delivering on time and within budget.
5. Leading Others. You ended up in leadership, not because you sought it out, but because you're good a communicating a vision that others are excited about executing. You are passionate about watching and being a part of the success of our community. By properly planning ahead of time, you can make visions become reality with little oversight.
6. Past Supervisors & Co-workers. We will not only check your references but do a thorough background check on your past supervisors and co-workers to understand your abilities. Please be aware of this before applying.
