8,830 Security Guard Jobs Nationwide

Security guards protect people from bodily injury and kidnapping. They also protect public and private properties from theft, vandalism and trespassing. During a typical work day, security officers monitor closed-circuit TV cameras for signs of criminal activity, and physically monitor people and property grounds for indications of malicious intent.


Skillset: Security guards must be physically fit to efficiently fend off intruders. They must also possess keen observation skills and decision-making skills. Strong communication skills help security guards interact well with law enforcement officials, members of the public and suspected bodily harm or property damage offenders.


Education: Although no legal guidelines exist for security guard employees, many security guard companies require that their employees undergo both classroom and on-the-job training. Furthermore, armed guards must adhere to their state's initial and ongoing firearm training, and licensing guidelines, to carry and use guns while on the job.


Career Path: A security guard career requires the acceptance of bodily injury risk when protecting the lives, possessions or properties of employers. Pursue a security guard career when both the mental and physical aspects of this highly unpredictable occupation have been carefully considered.
