How do I contact a security Company for a job? Just got Licensed NYC?

I did all the required classes and my license should be arriving from Albany in a month or so. The place where I got it was supposed to help me with job placement but I guess they're scumbags. Do I just search security on yellowpages and start calling them up? what do I say? I have no experience, how big of a problem will that be? I feel so angry at the place I got the required classes because they were supposed to help me and charged for it but atleast I got my license on the way.

Google security company, private security, security guards NYC and then apply to all the companies that pop up. Classifieds, and the major commercial buildings all have their own security or will tell you who to contact that they contract with for theirs. (Trump Towers, Rockefeller Plaza, etc).

When you apply you should be honest about no previous experience, but empathize you passed the exam, are licensed, and have other skills acquired, graduated HS, etc, etc, and have a clean background that will pass the state background check.

In NY, only one out of 4 applicants for a security guard position actually pass the background check and can be hired. Sad, but true.

Ask for human resources, then tell them you're newly licensed and want to know if they have any openings for security guards. :) Report It
