Career Opportunities for Protection Officers at GSX 2019

It can be difficult to find the time to develop your resume, expand your professional network, and find new educational and learning opportunities - all of which are necessary to further your career.

Fortunately, the organizers at ASIS recognize this and have you covered at Global Security Exchange (GSX) 2019, taking place 8-12 September, in Chicago, IL.

The Career HQ at GSX 2019 is where you will find free resume reviews, the Headshot Studio, expert career coaching, professional development sessions, and networking events with employers and peers.

Sometimes figuring out the next step in your career can be as difficult as taking it. Career coaches have come prepared with direction and actionable steps that you can take to grow your career in security.

Your online presence is imperative when searching for a new opportunity, and that fishing photo on your LinkedIn profile leaves room for improvement. That’s why ASIS has organized the Headshot Studio at the Career HQ at GSX.

They’ll be offering free portraits taken by award-winning photographers, and there will even be makeup artists available for quick touchups so you can look your best – just make sure to dress for the occasion!

Preparing for job interviews starts long before you even submit an application – staying up to date on the latest security industry innovations, game changers, and disruptors is essential if you want to take the next step in your career.

Attending one (or more) of the 300+ education sessions taking place at GSX is a great place to start. The session lineup covers a wide variety of topics vital to today's security professional. Delivered in immersive formats like small group workshops, simulations, deep dives, and more, the tracks—ranging from Business Continuity, Managing Organizations, and Enterprise Security Risk Management to Crime Prevention, National Security, and Digital Transformation and beyond—enable attendees to find the sessions most relevant to their own educational and organizational needs.
