"Being raised in a home where my father and grandfather were police officers, it was always ingrained in me to take on a job where I am serving and protecting others. My goal is, in two to three years, to have enough money saved to begin my coursework in criminal justice. I feel that working in a security role will provide me with a lot of the training, experience, and insight needed to reach my career goals."

The interviewer would like to know what feeds your desire to work in the security industry. Perhaps you have always been the one to jump in and help others. Maybe you have dreams of joining the army or police force down the road, and you see this as an excellent jumping-off point. Whatever your reasoning, be sure that the interviewer can feel the passion in your response.

"I like to serve others and spend time, inside and outside of work, ensuring that others have what they need. For many years I have volunteered with our community's underserved community and find a great amount of fulfillment in doing so. In a world full of hate crime and insecurities, it's critical that I do my part to help others feel safe and cared for."
