How to Find a Job As a Security Officer in Iraq

Working as a security officer in Iraq is no easy task. A person desiring a job such as this must be in excellent physical condition, proficient with several types of weapons and willing to work in an environment that isn't always safe. The risk can be well worth the reward, though, as individuals with these jobs make roughly $100,000 a year.

Use regular online job sites as a way to find security officer jobs in Iraq. Websites like Monster, Yahoo HotJobs and Career Builder can help you locate jobs. It is incredibly easy to find jobs in Iraq on all three websites. Unfortunately, you can't search by location. Log onto the home page of these websites and enter "security Iraq" in the keywords portion. Make sure that the location text box is left blank. Search for jobs and you will find pages of job postings. There will be positions other than security jobs listed so you will need to browse through each page to find every security officer position listed.
