Respect, Integrity, and Vigilance

Respect, Integrity, and Vigilance

It has been eleven months since I switched careers from an unstable environment to a steady paycheck. In those eleven months, I have found a career that truly defines who I am as a person. The job requires me to always be alert, attentive to detail, and with the welcoming and caring approach.

Each and every day is going to be different, to think days are going to be the same, would be an understatement.

I’m in the bathroom yesterday, washing my hands, as a gentlemen stands behind me acknowledging my presence. He tilts his head with respect and waits his turn. He then begins to speak, “How is it in the security business?” I reply, “It’s pretty secure”. The gentlemen replies, “And it’s only going to get better…if you have a minute, I’d like to tell you a story…”

Security is a challenge, we as individuals will have to deal with for the rest of our lives.

• Don’t assume anything

Security is definitely not going anywhere anytime soon. In fact, it is only going to increase as years go by. Security, as it would suggest, is to secure. However, there is a fine line between enforcing the rules and the customer service that is to welcome. We are not drill sergeants, but simply an elite class of individuals. I am the enforcer, viewed by others as Supreme. I take my job very seriously. All it takes is one second, one bad decision, and the entire foundation which integrity and trust is built upon is compromised.
