Getting sick of the 9 to 5 day job routine? Still Physically fit and want a job that will pay to to stay fit? Did you ever think about becoming a bodyguard? Not all bodyguards are hulking giants. As a matter of fact most Executives want a guard who can “blend in” with their with all the other business people they surround them selfs with everyday. Look at people like Bill Gates. Ever seen Bill Gates walking with a no neck giant, no he always is surrounded by computer programmer and business suit looking people. Being the richest man on earth I can bet that half of them are bodyguards or “Executive Protection Officers” as many like to be called.
So now you are asking what do they do and how do I become one? Well read on to find out…
Working Conditions
For many people, the main reason for taking up bodyguard employment is because they are almost always guaranteed action in their work, and possibly an element of danger also. However with the bodyguard training they have obtained, they are well versed about how to handle any difficult situations that arise. A properly trained bodyguard is able to fend off 4 unarmed attackers. Also, taking up bodyguard training and working in the industry can allow you to earn a substantial income, especially when you are providing Executive or VIP protection. The average hours a bodyguard will work are 6 hours with a rotation of other operatives, but the company you are working for usually determines this.
The Industry
With the increase of violence throughout areas in the world, more people are taking on bodyguards to protect themselves and their families. Thus the number of bodyguard jobs has increased with the need to increased security for all types of circumstances. The number of security that may be required for one particular occasion can be up to 300 bodyguards while traveling through dangerous areas. Move movies are being shot overseas. Stars feel they need guards and the studios can afford to hire teams of them to travel with their stars.
Benefits
There are many benefits to become a bodyguard; some of these include earning top salaries, spending time with celebrities and VIPs, frequent change of location to keep work challenging, and frequent traveling. If you are someone who does mind constant travel, many days away from home at a time, irregular hours and would rather work at one location, then being a bodyguard is probably not the best job option for you.
Bodyguard Qualities
Are you suited to a bodyguard job? You must have the following qualities. These including being physically fit, able to work as part of a team, work independently when required, great observation skills, can maintain client confidentiality, remain calm under pressure, good planning skills and good interpersonal skills then a job in the Bodyguard industry may be just right for you. Most employers look for people who “fit in”. Do you look right in a suit, can you dress business casual? If so an Executive can use your protection.
Training
Depending on the skills and training you have already undertaken will determine whether you need extensive bodyguard training. Of course any new candidate will need to undertake a basic bodyguard course to understand all aspects of this industry and these can usually be completed at a city close to you. Depending on whom you work for in bodyguard jobs and what your duties are, the following skills may be called upon. These include close protection, Anti-terrorism, First Aid, Risk Assessment, Weapons Disarming, Unarmed Combat, Counter Surveillance, Dispute Resolution, Advanced / Defensive Driving and Executive Protection.
Salary
Even if you have no previous experience, it is possible to begin bodyguard jobs, once you have completed approved training. Salaries for bodyguard jobs do vary, but as an example, experienced bodyguards can earn around US $55,000 a year. Bodyguards, who work for VIPs or other people with high security threats against them, can earn over US $180,000 a year. Generally speaking, the greater the threat to the person you are protecting, the more money you will earn by keeping them safe.
