Do I need to have massive muscles to get security jobs?

No, not at all. Your mind is your most powerful tool. Confidence and professionalism can by far outweigh the size of your biceps.  Although in difficult situations dealing with restraint if needed, physical strength may aid you and this can be a required role of some security roles think of how you can prevent issues effectively first. When looking at any problem, are you the type of person that can spot a solution without using conflict. The big question we feel is necessary to be answered is how good are you when it comes to keeping your cool and remaining in control, dealing with things effectively. Your most important asset working in the field is your professionalism. As your trainers will tell you “you are not the police” and have no powers as such. Security can be a lucrative job, but remember you will not have a job for long if you end up in and out of the police stations every week. Do take a few classes in conflict management and build confidence where ever you can, whatever level your coming in at. This can aid you greatly. First aid and fire safety are also vital courses to think about. Imagine if someone faints at your footsteps, or a small fire starts near you. You are not going to look good if you just shrug your shoulders.
