Security Officer (United Hospital)

[Jim1348]

This is interesting. They list:

".....Certified Fraud Examiner (CFE), Certified Protection Professional (CPP), Certified Forensic Interviewer (CFI), Physical Security Professional (PSP), Professional Certified Investigator (PCI), a plus....."

While I can understand most of the other things, I am sort of puzzled why they listed CFE, particularly for someone with a work schedule: 11:30pm - 7:00am every other weekend. I can only assume that someone at Allina HR made an error.

The ad looks like a carbon copy cut and paste from a full-time job posting. With the shift edited of course. Even if there were not much use for the certification with those work hours posted, Id still want my officers certified equally in case they ever were to move up into a full time role or need to assist a current FT employee.
