any security guards on here ? I need to know Hyenablood: I finished all of my security guard training, passed my exam and will soon be going to get my liceance made up. In the new year I will be applying for jobs and need to talk to someone in the industry. What can I expect ? if anyone works in this area please commet, I'd love to know.  waterstop: congrats，but i would say it's better to contact people on professional career website, u might meet plenty of people working in that sector.good luck. Hyenablood: Great news !!! I got a job interview this week !!!! it's a security company that works around the airport in our city, I'm soooo happy !! I'll post again if I get the job !!! EEEEKKKK!!!!  (Post deleted by staff ) Hyenablood: well I'm posting again, I thought that I had bombed, failed the interview, so I went on with my life and applyed at other securiy companies. Well the A company called and tommorrow they want me to go tommorrow for another interview, this time with a bunch of important people sitting around asking me questions. I have to bring water and it looks like this interview could be a long one. WOW, I thought that I totally had failed that one !! Hyenablood: I am hired, I am working at a downtown location for training for the next two days. After that I will get the rest of my working days on email. I'm starting out part time, which is perfectly fine. I just want to start working, learn how to do the job as a security guard.  ohnonotthatguy: Congratulations  When are you taking all of us out for a dinner and drinks and a big nite out in downtown Winny Hyenablood: haha, just got payed now, 654. dollars in my account. I've spent a bit (or alot) of it just buying supplies for my work week ahead. I keep strange hours, starting at 3 in the afternoon and going till 11 at night. Or starting at 10 or 11 at night and going till 6 or 7 am in the morning. Not good hours for stopping off at a grocery store or mall to pick up things needed. So all of my shopping needs have to be done on my two precious days off, mon and tue so far. Have to buy stuff for far into the future too, cuz a girl just doesn't know when nature will bonk her over the head in the middle of a work week. As for work, I've had my fill already of asking certin people to leave the lobby of the hotel, or to be quiet in their hotel rooms. Alot of patrols, just walking around, or doing tasks like helping customers or the hotel staff with various little tasks. Hyenablood: well today I got the bad email. I've been working at a downtown hotel, the hotel is a client of the security company that I work for. The hotel contacted my company and said that they didn't want me working in their hotel anymore. So now I have to wait for my security company to find me another site to work at. Sigh, who is at fault and who is buying into stereotypes that only men are good for working at security ? Hyenablood: I am now working at a aparment block as security, I'm only there for 5 hours, from 10 pm to 3 am in the morning. Two apartment blocks, 15 floors each. Two parkades, one has 3 levels the other only 2. So far the only problem is people parking in other people's assigned parking spots. When that happens I have to write up a ticket and place it on the offending car. Write it up in my report so apartment management knows about it. Assign overnight parking spots and do patrols, lock doors and watch a computer screen that shows diffrerent entrances and rooms. Hyenablood: had my first domestic violence to deal with this past saturday. April 13, 2013. People in the west block called my on the cellphone that is always there. in one apartment they hear yelling, screaming and things being broken. I rushed over and hear all the yelling. The cops were called and showed up within minutes. They arrested a guy and hauled him out. Paramedics showed up and went into the apartment. No one was hurt and only a door was damaged. Hyenablood: On sunday april 14, 2013 a young couple walked into the office where I was watching the computer screen showing the different areas. They said that they had come across a drunk man crawling in the parking lot. So they helped him into the lobby of the west building. I stood up and said I would call the cops. They said that he had a key for the block, and then I realized that the drunk man LIVED in that block. So I went over and talked to him for a bit ( he was deaf and had hearing aids ) I helped him to his door, helped him open it and turned a light on for him. I told him to go to bed and get some rest. He was very thankful that I had helped him. All I could think was "thank god he can walk under his own powers !"  edricleeboneham: Well worked at a forward guard post in Iraq at a palace, and it was cool standing up for 24-48 hours straight. Anywys Remember this pecivis of advice take them to the ground as fast as possible into mount or whatever they call it, break the wrists as soon as possible This is an important step because if they are even ten pounds more than you, you'll probebly lose, crush the treacial thing in the neck, and grab the neck like a playstation controller or do the eyes its disgusting at sticky like honey but whatever, Remember realistically you're only good for like one or two fight unless you're in really really good shape, and you'll all be beaten to hell with detached retna, missing teeth, and ripped to muscle scratchs, but the other guy will be subdued so it worth the 10 dollars an hour they pay you. Remember they'll have a gun or knife if they have the balls to attack you, so be quick. Hyenablood: hold on, here we cannot put our hands on anyone, unless the security guard is a bouncer, and even then, there had better be evidence ( witness ) that can verify what exactly happened. Hyenablood: I'm not wonderwoman here, I'm not going to be physically fighting anyone !! if something happens, I will back off, and get out of the situation !! no one, not even my bosses, want any of their guards to put themselves into a dangerous situation ! if you get hurt, then you can't work, no work means no money. Better to back off and call the cops to handle the crazies. edricleeboneham: Well forget it then, at least you get a uniform right? Maybe something like those Japanese sailor girl uniforms would be cool. Hyenablood: uh I'm not a cop, the job of a security guard is to patrol, observe and report, we also deter people from trying anything just be physically being on the site. edricleeboneham: What!!!!!!!! Well at least you get paid, thats important, then you can join the police force. Hyenablood: all I want is a paycheque, and I do not want to join the police force, I am very happy being a security guard, the site I am at is very peaceful.  padamdhami22: Hey Hyenablood, Im too need a job in security. if you email me: padamdhami22@gmail com | Work Chat Room Similar Conversations |
