Working as a security guard or as a security professional is a demanding yet rewarding job. You can have some flexibility, and find job satisfaction in knowing that you are doing something really important. If you would like to get into the security industry, here are some tips:

• Look for a company that is SIA licensed. This shows that they will follow all necessary industry regulations and provide a high-quality service.
• Find an agency that will take you on. This gives you more flexible work options and will allow you to build up your experience with a reputable agency.
• Don’t look for great pay straight away. Entry level security jobs won’t necessarily pay well, but once you have more experience, you will be able to take on more challenging work and receive a higher wage.
• Get some experience. If possible, some experience in a similar industry and good knowledge of the law will help you.
