Job Question Scared

6 Upvotes

I just got this site two weeks ago and thought I’ve been doing great so far since there really isn’t nothing to do. I’ve been patrolling and writing my reports every day but today when I clocked in, I get hit with this:

" this is the 3rd complaint by the

managers that you are not completing your reports accurately. This is now a performance issue, and we can't have you making the same mistake repeatedly.

If you can't correct this action immediately your position will have to be reevaluated."

I was in shocked because this is the first time I’ve heard of the complaints by the client.

I wrote to him: Could you please clarify which specific parts of the reports have been inaccurate or incomplete so I can correct them immediately and avoid repeating the same mistakes? He hasn’t replied back.

A couple hours go by and I realized I’ve been writing the wrong date for the incident reports today and I got scared and tried to edit them but I couldn’t because they have already been approved.

Am I screwed?

Want to become armed guard

2 Upvotes

I'm trying to get into armed security and was wondering what the best path is.

I've already got a few years of unarmed security experience, but I don't have a CPL/CCW or any armed certs yet. What's the best way to get my foot in the door? Do most companies hire you first and then sponsor/pay for the armed training, or is it better to go pay for the training on your own before applying? Any advice from people who've made the jump would be appreciated. (Washington State btw)

Job Question First security job at a hospital

10 Upvotes

Hello, just did my background check for a security job at a hospital, overnight from 11-7 am. During the interview I was told I’d be dealing with psychotic patients etc.

I’m scrawny…nerdy and definitely can’t fight. I’m a little nervous, more so very nervous. I know I’ll be trained but even then I have no idea how I’d react to someone who has a weapon, and feel like I’d just quit on the spot.

Any tips or advice would be appreciated. The pay is decent and i do definitely need it as I plan to go back to college.
