Getting promoted from a security to a staff member is a big step. It can seem like a daunting task, but it's not impossible. To get promoted, you need to first understand the difference between the two positions.
Security is an entry-level position, while staff is more senior. Security guards are typically hired on an hourly basis and are responsible for protecting the premises and its contents. They may also be tasked with patrolling the site and responding to incidents as they arise. Staff members are usually full-time employees who perform more complex duties such as overseeing other employees or providing customer service.
To get promoted from a security guard to a staff member, you should:
* Be friendly with your coworkers - The best way to get promoted is through networking, so make sure that your coworkers know what skills you have and how helpful you can be to them. When there is vacancy or any opportunity, they can alert you so you can apply on time.
* Have experience working in retail - Working in retail will give you valuable experience dealing with customers and learning about company culture, which will help immensely when applying for higher positions later down the road.
* Show up every day on time ready for work with no excuses if something comes up take care of it before it gets out of hand make sure everything works smoothly before anything happens on your shift make sure all paperwork is filled out correctly before handing it off to someone else make sure all equipment is repaired or replaced in case anything goes wrong during your shift don't let anyone disrespect you or treat you like they are better than anyone else treat everyone equally even if they aren't as good at their job as others do not complain about anything unless it's something serious like an emergency situation.
