I work as a security officer. It's a gutter job, but I get a $790.00 biweekly paycheck off of 96hours of work. I could become the supervisor or site supervisor. Those positions are virtually the same as my present position. Other than that, is there room for advancement?

But he refused to go because he's afraid that will fail the training. He's now a site supervisor with a Diploma in Civil Eng. He's a slow and have a bad memory. Do you think he's able to cope with the job?

I am writing a cover letter for my resume, and I don't know who to address it to. The supervisor is listed on the job information sheet I received, but the director is listed first on the website, and the supervisor is listed as the junior creative director on the site, not supervisor. Also, if I do not know their marital status, would it be informal to address the cover letter using their full name?

Any one knows this phenomenon ? Usually happens in small security company.. A kind of manager in small security company, can interview new people, and work with guards in a site, and he himself wears uniform and do patrolling job like ordinary guard, looks like a senior guard rather than a manager too, and seems to only know the basic and easiest of the security field - patrolling, too.. But he calls himself , and introduces himself to applicants or guards who work with as the owner of the security company... Maybe the people like this are just a senior guard that promotes to something like site supervisor.. But they like to call himself and introduce himself as the owner of the company.... searching the internet, find he's not owner, owner is someone else instead of him... Very strange and confusing... Why they like to pretend owners ? maybe they are just given a limited authority, and they're actually just senior guards, but they puff out and overstate their authority, and the real bosses do not know they pretend to be bosses, and the applicants or employees do not check their real identity. this type of people usually can be found in small companies, not big companies. Since company is small, though guards do not go to office to work, it's easily known who the real boss is. Well, even though the real boss is there, how can these guys still pretend to be bosses ? They can say something like " two companies combined into one " " subcontracting " " boss and him are two partners "

I work for a large security company in Vancouver and recently I was removed from a site for a clerical error. Here’s the story. I was stationed at the site control center as the graveyard shift supervisor and it was just the end of my shift when I realized one of the guards had not written up a report regarding an unsecured door. The door had been found unlocked the previous night and so I simply retrieved the report from the previous night and copy/pasted it into the new report. Once the report was done I sent it out to the client and relative recipients then ended my shift. Problem was I had accidentally sent a partially edited report out with the name of the previous reports writer on it and not my report. Small accidents like this happen once in a while when you have to review and edit ten to fifteen reports from guards a night, not to mention the many other reports that need to be completed every night. I would have been informed of the mistake and I would have fixed it. Unfortunately the Site I worked at had a new site supervisor who had been in charge only two months and was doing everything in his power to make people’s lives miserable. The man loved to state that he was black and white, that there were no shades of grey. If you’ve worked in security you know that’s not good. Security is nothing but different shades of grey. Further he was sexist, racist and uncaring. If someone needed particular days off because they had kids to take care of; he would still screw peoples schedule up forcing them to find other alternatives. His macho ego sent all the female guard to tears, sent a guard who had stood down hockey rioters and occupy protesters without flinching to the hospital for a panic attack, and a sweet old woman who did reception work for us into retirement. I could go on but suffice it to say we did not get along. The only guard who liked him where the one who reported to him everything even if it was blow out of proportion or made up. Anyways two weeks later I was brought into head office and told that because I had willfully and maliciously created a fraudulent document I was being removed from the site and that my hourly rate would be cut down by two dollars. At the time I was on meds for a bronchial infection and all I could think of is that I was down two dollar and would have to find work. The whole incident was unreal. Now I find myself still working for the company that had screwed me o’ so many times. You many ask why still work for them. Well if you lived in Vancouver, north Americas most expensive city you’d know there are no jobs. So you hold on to what you got. What can I do? Is there any justice?
