Q: Do I need special training before joining?
A: No prior training needed.
Security agencies (G4S, SIS) provide 7-15 days free training after you join. They teach you basic security procedures, fire safety, and CCTV operation.

Q: What’s the difference between security agency jobs and direct company jobs?

- Place you at different client locations
- You’re their employee, deployed at malls/companies
- Can transfer you between locations
- Salary: ₹14,000-20,000

Direct hiring (mall/company hires you directly):
- Fixed location (no transfers)

Ex-servicemen: Almost always get full benefits
Q: Can I work as security guard in my 40s or 50s?
A: Yes.
Many companies accept guards up to age 50. Residential societies sometimes hire guards in their 50s as well.

Q: What documents do I actually need to start?
A: Essential four:
- 10th certificate (or 8th if accepted)

Both are good companies with 200+ branches for transfer options.
Q: How do I avoid fake security job offers?
A: Red flags to watch for:
❌ Anyone asking ₹5,000-20,000 “placement fee” (genuine agencies never charge) ❌ “Work from home security jobs” (doesn’t exist – security needs physical presence) ❌ Promises of ₹40,000-50,000 salary for fresher guards (unrealistic)
✅ Apply only at official company offices ✅ Check company PSARA license ✅ Walk-in interviews are free ✅ Training by company is free
