Hello everyone, and welcome. Congratulations on taking this critical step to advance your career. If you're here, you're likely a law enforcement officer or a security guard looking to move into a corporate security role, and you're not sure how to bridge that gap. I get it. You have crisis management, leadership and many, many other skills corporations need, but translating that experience into a resume or interview answers a recruiter understands is a major hurdle. My name is Dominic Venturi, and I built this community to be the resource I wish I had. I've walked this exact path. My 20+ year career with the FBI led me to my current role as a Senior Director of Corporate Security of a major corporation. I built security programs from the ground up, hired and managed large teams and handled everything from executive protection to complex fraud investigations. In the Classroom Tab, I draw upon my vast experience and share with you what corporations are really looking for. Equally important, I share how to effectively communicate during the interview and resume-writing stages. Please use these free resources and if you have questions or need more personalized help, book a call with me at: https://calendly.com/badgetobiz/consultation The Purpose of This Community This group is your playbook.

That should be a YES for everyone reading this. No coasting allowed and if you are, you know it. Do something about it. Improve on an existing skill or learn something new. Where do want to be 12-18 months from now? No excuses.
