    Get your PSA licence. If you want control room work. Take a look a look at the big multinationals operating here within the sector. Be prepared to do site work first before you get in to the control room or monitoring centre.

    More jobs going in doorwork. I've been trying to get a decent static job without joy, yet I was offered a job on the doors immediately off a few places.

    As JillyQ said above. Take time to learn the company, the industry and the people before looking for control room ops. Long lonely shifts in there.
