Step #1 – Get TRAINED! Online courses at www.InternationalSecurityTraining.org work great for former military, law enforcement, or security personal with work experience. For the beginner, spending a couple hundred dollars there will save a person a ton of time and money! Don't invest thousands in an executive protection program until you have basic knowledge. www.InternationalSecurityTraining.org gives you that knowledge!
Step #2 – Position yourself correctly! Accept entry-level security positions with growing companies / agencies. Work your way up. Ensure your HR file has your certificates.
Step #3 – Be cool with the fact that most employers will require you to go thru their training program. This is for legal & liability reasons. Don’t complain about it. Be relaxed and don’t brag about your time here or your experience there. Your resume should be stacked… your personality should be humble.
Step #4 – Maintain a positive / helpful attitude. Arrogance & impatience will hurt you faster than almost anything.
Until next time!
