How can I get an Oconus security job?

The qualifications and skills you need to get a security job outside the continental United States include knowledge of security procedures, relevant training, and a degree (for technical or leadership positions) or equivalent experience. Armed security personnel can gain experience in the military. Security contractors prefer to hire military veterans or applicants with law enforcement experience. Some employers require previous experience in the military or as an armed security guard, while others test the physical abilities of applicants before hiring them. Jobs connected to the military often require a security clearance, and since you work abroad, you need a valid passport.
