Bit of a longshot, but I figured I’d post since the job I was due to start last Wednesday had a salary of $10k less on the contract than their verbal offer and my other interview processes are taking a while.
I’ve got pretty varied experience ranging from Grant/proposal/technical writing to government affairs to policy/research analyst type work. I’m a hard worker and I even have some more hands on experience, as shown by when I took time off school to pay for it by working in a warehouse in North Vegas. I have a BA in Political Science with a History minor from one of the more respected universities in the South, since that has left me with some student loan debt I’m kinda looking for around $25 an hour or $52,000 salaried as a starting pay rate. Really open to anything specific to my background or even more general administrative/office type stuff.
Anyone have any leads that could apply to my situation? To be honest some writing work or policy analysis type stuff for a firearms related org like FPC or something would probably be ideal (currently in the running for something with the Committee for the Advancement of Hunting and Shooting Sports along with some local gov jobs like North Vegas’s Gov Affairs Specialist one).
Thanks a ton in advance!

You have to go to someone that has a Security License, and get a verification letter from the License holder, then with that letter, you attend an Armed Security Guard class. Most License holders won't give you that letter unless you are on their books. Someone would have to work for a company as an unarmed guard, then get the License holder gives you the letter. No real way to get around it.

I am hiring part-time and full-time armed and unarmed security guards in the Reno and Sparks area. Our security officer assignments range from static commercial, retail, and industrial establishments to events, festivals, conventions, concerts, and more. Armed assignments also include personal protection and escorts. We have day, evening, and overnight shifts, seven days a week. Unarmed guards currently earn $21-23 per hour and armed guards currently earn $21-24, both depending on experience. Candidates must have a valid Nevada PILB guard card. If armed, they must also have military, law enforcement, or equivalent training and experience. Work as a security guard is a safety-sensitive and therefore we have a drug-free policy, including a no tolerance to marijuana policy.
Please feel free to contact me directly.

Okay so i know i may not be the most popular guy around here, but im coming here with a question of where to get started into fire/ems/rescue volunteer services here in southern nevada? Im legitimately looking to help the community, and gain experience doing it. I know we have all kinds of members here that know more about this subject. Im not asking for a hand out, just a hand pointing the right direction.
