"Although I have not performed event security work, I am confident that my personality and training would be the right fit for situations where extra care and attention is needed. Special events may include concerts or sporting events that attract illegal activities, theft, and even terrorist action. It would be imperative that I remain keen, alert, and understand the potential security threats that may be present."

A part of your role as a security guard may be to work around large groups of people, ensuring that everyone remains safe in a crowded environment. If you have experience working events security, take a few moments to walk the interviewer through these experiences, being sure to describe your responsibilities and involvement thoroughly. If you do not have event experience, take some time to discuss what you understand the duties to be in that type of scenario.

"Working special events and being the security for an event that is occurring in a large space requires an extra amount of awareness and customer service. I have worked many events in a security role and am most successful when I have an approachable attitude with a focus on safety for the public. I can help the event run smoothly by ensuring that I check for illegal alcohol or drug consumption. I can break up large crowds that may appear to be a threat, and do thorough bag and ticket checks as needed. I am comfortable working around large groups of people with diverse needs and backgrounds."
