Job Description
PLEASE BE SURE TO ANSWER ALL SCREENING QUESTIONS
Swing shift security guard position, working Monday-Friday at high-end mansion in West LA (near Beverly Hills), requires a reliable, well-spoken, alert security guard to act as a front gate concierge. Primary job is watching video cameras and ensuring all those who enter are approved by Client. Paying attention to cameras is key. This location becomes very quiet at times so it takes someone responsible to pay attention -- even when slow.
Ideally, we also want someone who has worked in a retail security capacity. Every now and then we may ask the guard to cover our Hollywood retail store for a sister company; this requires someone who will wear a black suit. The retail position pays $25 per hour.
Position starts on 4/27. Must have guard card.
Again, please answer all screening questions.
Pay: $19.00 - $20.00 per hour
Application Question(s):
• Please write at least a paragraph sharing what your career goals are
• What about this position appeals to you?
• If you are working as security guard at a main gate for a residential property what are your top three concerns?
• Do you own a black suit?
• How do you feel about working every now and then at a Hollywood retail store?
• At our retail store one has to stand for most of the shift. Are you OK with this?
Work Location: In person
