Working as a security guard without recruitment agencies

If you are in good physical shape, you should try to move to Moscow and get a job as a security guard. I’ll tell you about all the nuances now. Maybe you'll change your mind.

Private security activities may be licensed. In this case, you at least have the right to something.

The duty officer (a watchman with a two-week non-stop work schedule) or the sales floor controller (a disenfranchised tramp) is also a citizen security guard.

The shift attendant, who has an understanding of the position of a security guard, will quickly introduce you to all the intricacies of this profession.

If you are a young, attentive person who served in the Russian army, knows how to stand up for yourself, is not deprived of height and does not have bad habits, I recommend that you get a job in capital banks.

I worked there myself for some time until I found a shift closer to home.

Security requirements are high, constant beatings, competitions, daily stupid instructions and passing physical standards 2 times a year.

The salary, by Moscow standards, is not very respectable, but not beggarly either.

For the regime, after three days I was paid 45,000 rubles. Enough for life.

There were practically no hassles, given the fact that a homeless person or a customer who had served time in prison would not come into the bank.

Here's where you really shouldn't get a job - as a sales floor controller.

No rights. No baton, no handcuffs. Not to mention military arsenals.

You are just a “clown” standing “at the gate”. The buyer is always right. But now he knows his rights.

In the person of the buyers, you are not a security guard, but a fool who can be easily sent to hell by going to the store with any previously purchased products.

You can politely ask at the entrance to hand over your purse under the “golden key” to the shaky locker.

85% of customers will immediately point out to you a warning related to the fact that the store administration is not responsible for personal items left in the storage room.

And you will look pale again.

The sales floor controller is a worthless security guard who only has the right to defend himself against hooligans.

And further. Everything is shamelessly taken out of stores. And it’s not just the customers who do this, but the low-quality staff themselves.

The entire shortage is divided equally, trying to punish the lower classes, and not the cunning administration. The already low wages - from 20 to 25 thousand rubles for the 2 through 2 mode - are reduced by about 25% after each inventory.

Warm places are private security, where they won’t just take you.

They recruit former (current) police officers, military retirees and bouncers.

It all depends on the object itself, how crowded its location is and the nature of the establishment.

Security guards in casinos and pubs get the worst of it. You cannot avoid abrasions. They pay a lot. From 60,000 rubles per month and above.

A good solution would be to get a job as a personal security guard for some overweight Moscow boss. In addition to all the power bells and whistles, a necessary condition is having a license to drive a car.

They pay from 150 to 200 thousand rubles a month, depending on the stinginess of the master.

At little light, on a weekend, even at night, he can call and in a drunken voice force you to “pick him up” somewhere.

We'll have to pull up our pants and leave immediately.

Average salary for the security guard profession in Moscow: 33,000 rubles

However, employers are looking for calm, experienced people who will not get confused in a critical situation. Experience in the army or law enforcement agencies can be a plus at the interview.
