Corporate Executive Protection: A Manual for Inspiring Corporate Bodyguards

For inclusion on your website.
Executive protection is seeing an explosion (pardon the pun) around the world. Unfortunately this also opens the doors to the unscrupulous operators that are there to SCAM. With associations like the BBA bodyguards have been able to promote thier professional image and reputation. Not just for front line work, but for all associated areas.
The SCAMMERS are looking for you.
As an executive protection specialist for one of Australias elite bodyguard companies 538 Pty Ltd, I am not shocked but concerned about the ever increasing rise in job advertisements that are set to SCAM. Offering great job opportunities in a growing industry, but at a price. Yes charging you to work for them. Not that the job every eventuates. If you see a vacancy for a position, and find that you need to pay for training first, or pay for your own accommodation and or travel expenses, WATCH OUT.. I am not going to go into great detail on the different scams as there is abundant information now available on the internet covering these scams. However I would like to add, that if at any stage a company requires you to outlay any amount of your hard earned cash for a position within their organisation. DONT.
There is a growth worldwide for our services. So when applying for a vacancy ask as many questions as possible then ask more. Make sure you have a contact name and number, business registration information, and security business licence information. It is cheaper to call an International number for verification than to send credit card payments that offer you nothing other than a certificate by way of a bank statement with charges.
I would also (unless you are wanting to move internationally for life style choices) suggest searching for job opportunities in your state or local area. If a company is recruiting for International EP specialists, the question has to be asked. Why not use home grown? If they are after some skill they cannot find home grown, then they should be actively seeking you, not you seeking them.

Where can I find more of your information. Your knowledge and experience just saved me paying out on a possible job. Well I wasn't going to get a chance until I paid up for training.
After research as you said to do, I found that the course was not what it appeared to be. THANK YOU.
