About Jim Zasowski

Welcome to my LinkedIn Profile. It is a pleasure to “meet” you. I started Z1CareerZone for one reason – to touch more lives in a positive way. Our skilled career transition experts and comprehensive programs are here to help you reach your potential and succeed in your career aspirations. I bring extensive experience in corporate leadership roles. No stranger to entrepreneurship, I launched and ran the successful recruiting firm, Z1 Solutions for over 20 years, focused in serving the healthcare industry. This was fulfilling, important work. We identified, vetted, selected and placed over candidates in professional roles! But I knew I could do more for a broader audience, thus the shift to launching Z1CareerZone in 2018.As a relationship driven organization, our clients, YOU, are everything to us. I’ve always been intrigued by the unique qualities of people and identifying your distinguishing strengths, traits and achievements is what we do best. I am pleased to provide you with the most comprehensive career training program that exists today. If you work best on your own and at your own pace, our OnDemand Program is the perfect fit.
