How did you get into the job? I just got my SIA badge for CCTV and door supervision ( I don't know if you have these wherever you live) I just got my first security job to build experience but it's looking after a warehouse in the middle of nowhere, it's quite high tech for CCTV but it's not exactly taxing work.
I'm guessing you get paid more than an average security guard?
What's the part of the job that makes you most on edge? Is it dealing with specific cases or situations?
Do you ever do nightshifts and is the atmosphere ever spooky there at night? I do night shifts for group of huge warehouses sometimes, and it's basically like the set for every horror film you've ever seen combined into one place, there's random boiler rooms around the place (nightmare on elm street) Random sewage and shower rooms in the place from whatever the location was used for before (IT pennywise the clown) part of the facility is woodlands in quite a remote area. (Friday the 13th,blair witch project, resident evil, the thing)
which of the patients would you least like to be your neighbour?
Are you provided with any weapons?
What is the youngest age of any person there?
What in your opinion do you think is the most common cause of mental illness?
Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.
