Getting Started Part 3

Here are some useful job sites to open accounts and post your resume with. First I’ll start with http://www.usajobs.gov/ . This site is good starting point because it taps into all of the government federal agencies job listings. The downside of this site is you need to be familiar with KSA’s and the federal pay scales and each agency has its own complex, tedious method of application. The upside is it’s federal so that means they will typically honor federal service towards retirement and the benefits are a little better. The jobs listings also usually pay a little more for physical security but not in all cases. The next group of sites are agency specific sites. The first is https://chart.donhr.navy.mil/ .This is the good site for physical security job listings but, once again there is a confusing federal pay scale listings. http://acpol.army.mil/employment/ Is another good site but a little more tricky because you have two juggle between this site and another https://cpolst.belvoir.army.mil/public/resumebuilder/builder/index.jsp to post your resume and apply for jobs. The site https://www.avuecentral.com/casting/login/loginMain.jsp?agency=USFS is worth mentioning because allot of agencies and commercial jobs are gravitating to this site . It also has a unique feature which enables its users to create a virtual resume. I have just hinted on the hundreds of federal agency sites. Now on to some of the commercial sites that are note worthy. The site http://www.militaryhire.com/ is a good site but is intended for military only but, it lets you see which companies are looking at your posted resume. Most other job sites make this a pay premium perk. http://www.clearancejobs.com/ Is worth looking into but, it leans more to the techy side of physical security. Industry specific sites are http://www.g4s.com/usw , http://www.chenega.com/ , http://www.alutiiq.com/ , http://www.doyon.com/, http://www.triplecanopy.com/triplecanopy/en/home/, http://www.blackwaterusa.com/, http://www.securitas.com/us/en/, http://www.loomis.us/default.aspx, http://www.assetprotectionassociates.net/,In doing some extensive research online of state employment opportunities I came across the best state site I’ve seen for employment in Physical Security. They not only list state jobs but also list any government jobs as well as private company listings for careers in law enforcement. http://www.ndworkforceconnection.com/jobbanks/joblist.asp?session=jobsearch&geo=3801000000&t=q&ff_show_no_salaries=1&gtype=ogrp&ogrp=33&ff_keyword_option=1,%202&VR=  The upside to some of these companies is you can make huge profits in short amount of time and have the flexibility to live were ever you want. The down side is the benefits are mediocre at best and the jobs are short lived. These would be excellent jobs for retirees or young single people. And finally onto the old staples http://www.monster.com/, or http://www.careerbuilder.com/ which I personally have had more luck with but, use what works for you . Spread the word for your resume and make the web work for you.
