I have used alot of the tips from your articles. However, I do have one question for you! I have a fairly significant background in security, both federal and local law enforcement and a certified protection specialist, not to mention the USMC. I have not had the good fortune of getting alot of hits with my resume. Can you suggest a company that writes resumes for this line of work? I could use all the help I can get. Again, thanks for the great articles and keep them coming! Hucky, thanks for a great and informitive article. I have used alot of the tips from your articles. However, I do have one question for you!

Recently I was at the BET Hip Hop Awards in Atlanta and I looked all of the millionaire rappers and singers and they all had bodyguards. Out of the 50 or so Bodyguards I saw, only about 10 of them were actually trained. The others were just BIG and that was about it. No Combat training, EMT, Firearms training or ANYTHING!!!....Just BIG and they still making large paychecks every year. Please explain that!!...I have 6 years Marine Corps experience, efficient in my firearms training, In tip top shape, and I have law enforcement experience. I'm 6 ft. 235lbs......Please explain how these FAT sloppy guys get all of the extremely well paying jobs and people like me get nothing!!!!!!!!! I've almost given up on the Bodyguard business....I've been going at it for years and it's gotten me nowhere.......

It is valuable advice along the lines you gave me about a month ago. So far, your advice has helped me land an interview with a name brand firm and allowed me to attend an ESI Alumni Conference without being a graduate of that training school. Thanks again. Jim Hucky,
