      Security Officer (Mall) Interview

      Mar 8, 2018
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Riverside, CA
      Declined offer
      Positive experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Allied Universal (Riverside, CA) in Feb 2018

      Interview

      The interview was a joke. If they like you, you get hired on the spot, especially because they need personnel since their turnover rate is really high. If you don't get an offer immediately after the interview, you did not get the job. Here's how the process went for me. Applied online and was contacted a few days later to come in for an interview. At the interview, I was asked to fill out a report of the things I saw as I walked through the mall while waiting for my interview time to start. After I filled out the report, I was called in to do an interview with 2 people, a supervisor and the site manager. They asked all of the standard interview questions that everyone should be familiar with, as well as some specific security related questions that I'll list below. Was offered the job immediately after the interview.

      Interview questions [5]

      Question 1

      How would you prioritize the following situations? You receive a call about a fight breaking out at the opposite end of the mall. On your way there, you see an elderly lady trying to wave you down and you also notice a couple loudly yelling at each other causing worry among other customers. How would you prioritize these occurrences?
      Answer question
