Security Guard Jobs that require Fees for Certification?
Asked by JAMES K
I'm looking for a job as a Security Officer and the places that contact me specify they want between $70 - $125 to Certify me, give me a background check, etc. I'm also to pay for the uniform in some of them. Is such a thing the way things are done in legitimate companies, or should they pay for the checks?

Best Answer:
If you're going to be working for them, they should be picking up all the fees for certification/uniform costs. There is no reason for you to pay out of your own pocket for that. At the most, a legitimate company will have you pay up front and then somehow reimburse you after making sure that you actually stay employed with them for a few months.
