The Musings Of An Opinionated Sod [Help Me Grow!]

I must admit, when I first saw it I thought it was a spoof …

While my interaction with security guards is limited, the one in this image resembles the sort of ‘fancy dress’ version you see on a stag night. Or a shit Hollywood movie.

But no, apparently it’s a real ad.

Which means their definition of ‘professional’ is someone who wears sunglasses, has their finger in their ear and can’t do their tie up properly.

I appreciate I am the last person who should talk about professionalism … and I also accept where bodyguards are concerned, the focus should be on how they protect rather than how they look … but I suppose for an industry that wants to remove the stigma of being seen as thugs in suits, this approach seems to reinforce it rather than change it.
