Identify the boundaries of the assignment
Private security covers different activities, from reception and access control to site surveillance or personal protection. For an international application, describe the environments you genuinely know, incident handling and report writing, without presenting broad experience as permission to perform every type of assignment or to use equipment outside your training.
Check authorisations before starting work
Licensing, training and background-check requirements depend on the country and the role. Obtain written information from the recruiter about these procedures, equipment, schedules and supervision, then check the conditions with the responsible authority before accepting an assignment or paying an intermediary, especially where the advertised duties remain unclear.
