Have you ever been faced with a difficult situation on a site?

My first day, I spent it on a site in Yopougon. The instruction is not to authorize any exit of any object or material without an exit voucher. Here it is, one day, a gentleman who came to see one of the bosses came out with a package without however having an exit voucher. So I stopped the vehicle. He called the boss who asked me to let him go. I refused because the instructions took precedence above all. The CEO had to intervene. He brought me a paper with a stamp and I let the gentleman pass. 3 days later, I was moved from this site.

Can you be a security guard and be fulfilled?

That is possible. You just need to organize yourself and above all to live within your means.

Indeed, it is a fairly noble profession where one makes a perfect living. Some will talk about risks, but in my opinion, any profession has its risks. You just have to follow the instructions, be vigilant and careful.

What do you think of the entry of women into the profession of security guard?

I would say it's good because the world has changed a lot and no job is exclusively for men. I also know that when she wants to, a woman always does well what is asked of her.
