Tips for a strong security officer CV
- Start with a short summary that says what you do, for how long, and what you are good at.
- Under each job, write what you achieved, not only your duties. Numbers (sales, customers, savings, time) make it believable.
- Use the words from the job advert in your skills, so both the recruiter and any screening software can see the match.
- Never add a qualification, licence or job you do not have. Employers check.
