I keep applying to jobs as a security guard. I've got over eight years of history as a guard and nothing else. Every job I've applied to for a year now has turned me down on the rare occasion they didn't just ghost me, then they repost the same job opening shortly after. I've applied to every security job in the city and NONE of them will hire me or even tell me why they won't. I've spoken with security guards in person and they ALL say they're horribly understaffed, some to the point of working 30 consecutive days of 12 hour shifts.
I think they're deliberate understaffing and the job openings are all just for show, because I can't think of any reason why nobody will hire me, except that I haven't had relevant work experience for the past year, but this started long before that was ever an issue.
