What to Write in a Security Guard Resume Objective
When writing your Security Guard resume objective, state clearly what you are looking to achieve with the job position. You should compose the resume objective while keeping the interests of the potential employer in mind. Remember, that your resume should capture the interest of the recruiter or employer right away.
One of the most effective ways to accomplish this is to customize your resume objective according to the main enterprise of the employer. For example, if the business of the employer is financial services then you should highlight your desire to introduce innovative security measures and procedures. It would be worth your time and effort to conduct some research on the company’s history. Find out if it has had security issues in the past or the most recent episodes. Then check your qualifications and see which ones would benefit the employer the most.

- Physically fit
- Trained in self-defense

- Pleasant disposition
- Adaptable to flexible work schedules
- Can work with people
- Can take instruction
These skills present a good mix of technical and fundamental qualifications. It also gives potential employers an idea of the kind of person you are. Becoming an effective Security Guard isn’t just about having the requisite skills for the job. It is also having the right attitude of working with people and adhering to the rigorous demands of the job.
But you should highlight the skills and qualifications that would place you ahead of the other candidates. This includes specialized training you may have had.
- Certification as a Security Guard
- Scholastic degree in a related field such as Criminal Justice
- Advanced training in specialized fields such as First Aid, Disaster Management and Self-Defense
- Certification in various security systems
- Proficiency in related computer programs
Not only will these skills propel your resume to the top of the list but it will help you move up the pay scale. Employers understand they have to pay a premium for the additional trainings and certifications you have received. They know you are offer more benefits to the company than lesser qualified candidates.
What to Write and Not to Write in the Security Guard Resume Experience Section
An effective Security Guard resume experience section should be as detailed as possible. Keep in mind that you are competing with other applicants for the same job. Not everyone will have the same qualifications and work experiences. You have no idea what the other applicants have written down in their resume experience section.
First, always indicate complete details on your work experiences. These include the following:
- Your Designation
- Name of Employer or Project Title
- Inclusive Years of Employment
- Address of Employer
- Bullet list or summary of responsibilities
Second, review your scope of work and responsibilities and arrange them in order to importance. Then reference the research work you did on your potential employer and assess which specific tasks would impress the recruiter. If your potential employer is in the casino industry, you can go into detail on your ability to run IT security systems to identify suspicious activity.
Touch on results that your efforts had given your employer. For example as in our previous example you could state, “Managed and introduced improvements to company’s IT security systems which resulted in an 81% reduction in losses due to fraud.”
You can only control what you include in your own resume. Do not take chances by leaving out important details in your work experience. This is especially true for your current or most recent tenure. The Work Experience section should be structured in chronological order beginning with your most recent employer. This is the first one a recruiter will come across.
Only write about paid work experiences. However, if you have had experiences working as a Security Guard without pay for the purpose of gaining credit you could include that in a separate entry under “Certification” or “Training”. Lastly, do not name drop identities of important clients.
In the first place, this will be seen as breach of confidentiality and will put off your employer. Second, if this is not accurate, your employer may find out. The repercussions for submitting falsified documents are not worth lying on your application.
