2. What type of security training have you received in the past?
How to Answer
Walk the interviewer through any security training that you may have received from a previous security services position. Your coursework may be on your resume; however, the interviewer is not asking for another bulleted list. They want you to bring the training to life for them. Discuss which training you excelled in, which coursework was your favorite, or how you finished top of the class!
If you are new to your career and without any formal training, that is okay too! Avoid leading with the negative (I don't have...) and, instead, lead with the positive and mention how you have taken the initiative to self-teach online for instance.
1st Answer Example
"In my previous role, I received excellent training in police support services, which was an exciting opportunity. I was able to learn a lot about the logistics surrounding monitoring public areas and responding to lower-priority calls. I look forward to additional training with GardaWorld as I am keen to grow in my security services career."
2nd Answer Example
"Since applying to GardaWorld I have taken the initiative to take an online course on security basics. I have learned the fundamentals of security services, safety, and best practices. I am eager to learn much more through your formal training program."
