Hey guys, first off I'd like to say please do not post if you don't have any relevant information.
Basically, right now I am a supervisor for a security company in Canada. I have done the following:
- Retail theft prevention
- Retail theft apprehensions (arresting people who steal, while being undercover plain clothes)
- Camera monitoring / recording / burning footage
- Intense court-ready statements for lawyers, judge, etc
- Front desk security (customer service, camera work, patrols)
- Bodyguard work (Following around clients, protecting them from specific people who have been marked, or protection from general public)
- Come and go (Take down license plates/names of drivers as they enter and leave premesis)
I've done it all, I've never gotten any bad complaints I am actually one of the rare bigger more
well-spoken people who understand communication and the essentials of this type of work no matter
what the position is. Problem is, I make $30,000-$40,000 CAD per year.
I have been trying to research and talk to some people on the internet about their security experience
in Australia and the United Kingdom, I have heard of some jobs out there without requiring any crazy
knowledge or certificates that can make $60,000+ CAD to $100,000+ CAD a year.
Basically, I'm wondering if this is true. I have always wanted to visit England, and Australia, and I
actually would be interested in moving to another country for awhile if the money is there for me.
I would not want to move and have to struggle.
I have in Canada:
- First aid level one
- Basic security training
- Advanced security training (hands on, handcuffs etc)
- Boxing / Jiu Jitsu training
- 3 years of security experience and 6 years of customer service.
