"My long-term goal within security services is to move into a field-based training role, ideally working with new security recruits. I know there is a long way to go to get there, so my initial goal is to earn a senior security guard opportunity. I love that you advertise promoting from within, and I look forward to the opportunity to rise through the ranks here at Allied Universal."
