Security employers look for people who are alert, honest and good at following procedure. Your CV should show where you worked (mall, bank, factory, residential society, hospital or event), what you were responsible for and how you handled incidents. Mention CCTV monitoring, access control, patrol rounds, visitor logs and basic fire safety. If you served in the army or police, or hold a security licence or training, put it near the top. Short, factual lines are best.
