Applying For Loss Prevention Job
Hello all, this is my first post here. I found you accidently while googling about "loss prevention"
Yesterday I applied, on line, for an LP job at a major retail chain store here in California. It's not Sears but about the same size.
I have some experience as a Security Guard and have my California Guard Card. I am short only a few credits of having an AA degree in Administration of Justice and worked some as a Campus Safety Officer at a local school.
I'm asking the LP people here what kind of questions might I be asked if I get as far as an interview for the LP job?
What other duties do you have besides watching for people stealing?
Are you told to stop and physically hold suspected offenders?
I'm 60 years old, 5' 2" in height and in good shape....but couldn't run down an 18 year old kid and sure as hell don't want to have to fight one..
How would you answer this question? (anybody can answer this one)
...."Why should I hire you?"
Thanks for any replies.
