Tips from recruiters
List your license or guard card type, state and expiration date near the top; many sites cannot post you without it.
Name the site type and size (hospital, warehouse, 400-unit apartment complex) so employers can picture your post.
Mention shifts you can work, such as overnights and weekends, because coverage is often the deciding factor.
