It can be really difficult trying to find work as a close protection officer and the best method of always staying employed is networking. The best form of networking in the 21st century is through social networking, this can be done on forums, chat rooms, and of course social networking sites such as Facebook and Myspace.
There are many close protection forums where you can gain valuable information about anything ranging from current vacancies, training, private security companies and close protection training courses. The main reason why social networking is so improtant in the close protection industry is because as a CPO one always has to be willing to travel for jobs.
The Internet therefore is the best place to communicate with employers and other Close protection officers to gain vital information. Close Protection is not really an industry where jobs are advertised on commercial job boards, instead it is an industry where you need to know people and you need to be in the right place at the right time.
Through social networking one can stay in touch with other close protection officers and companies all over the world and find decent jobs.
