It is critical, in the security services industry, that you remain in control at all times. For this reason, the interviewer at ADT Security Systems is looking for signs or red flags indicating that you may be short tempered. Even in terrible and uncomfortable situations, you cannot let your feelings or emotions get the better of you. Discuss what you would do if you felt verbally attacked while on patrol, by a random passerby (This example is not referring to a situation where there is an actual safety threat). If this has happened to you in the past, you can use your real-life example.

"From my experience, I have been called racial slurs and other derogatory terms like 'rent-a-cop' for instance. When people see a uniform but know that you are not a police officer, they sometimes like to push the envelope and see what they can get away with doing. I continue in my job and ignore them unless they become a safety threat."

"If someone were to be rude, I would ignore them. My job is to protect people, my clients' premises, and their belongings. It's not my job to care what other people think of me. Keeping my cool, and never internalizing a rude comment, is always the best choice."
