Start building →Show fitness and any disciplined background
If you have served in the army, police, or APF, lead with it — that background is highly valued for security roles. Mention physical fitness and, where employers ask for it, your height, since some posts have a minimum requirement.
List security skills and training
Include any security or safety training, CCTV monitoring, access control, patrolling, crowd or gate management, and first aid. State your ability to stay alert on long shifts and follow procedures — exactly what supervisors screen for.
Add the personal details and photo
Include date of birth, nationality, passport number, and a clear passport-style photo. The Nepali (with photo) template has these fields ready.
Frequently asked questions
- I have no formal security training — can I still apply?
- Yes. Many entry-level guard jobs train on the job. Lead with fitness, any disciplined background, reliability, and a clean record.
- Does ex-army or ex-police experience help?
- A lot. State your service, rank, and years clearly — it's one of the strongest things a security guard CV can show.
