Is Barnabas Nkomo-Threlfall a real person

No. He is invented for this page, and so are Oakstile Corporate Services and Fenbrooke Retail Security. The figures show a shape and describe nobody's record.

What goes at the top of a security application

The licence, with its year. It is a legal requirement to work and the first thing a contract manager checks. The example keeps it in certifications with first aid and conflict management beside it.

How should incidents be described

As counts and outcomes. Sixty shoplifters detained over three years, every case handed to the police with a statement, is a record of procedure, and 140 incident reports a year the client's insurer accepted without query is a record of documentation. Neither describes a single incident.

What did the checker score it

98 out of 100, re-measured on 25 September 2026, with readable volume 3 points short and achievement quality 1 point short. The arithmetic is 100 × 30% for parseability + 100 × 30% for completeness + 96 × 40% for content. The writing check scored it 95, which is 91 of the 96 points that applied to it.

Is CCTV work worth its own line

Yes. Ninety cameras monitored through night shifts, and 400 hours of footage reviewed for 22 investigations, is a technical and procedural claim at once, and evidence handling is a skill a corporate client pays for.

Which design is this rendered in

Minimal, one of the eight layouts in the ATS family and one of the 24 ATS-safe layouts out of 37. The eight were chosen on 2026-09-14 from a measurement: each one exports a PDF whose text layer scores exactly what the pasted text scores, on both test documents, in one column, with the reading order kept and no graphics. It sets a plain single column, which suits a page led by licences and counts.

The licence decides whether the page is read

A door supervisor licence with its year, a current first aid certificate and conflict management training. All three sit in their own certifications section, because a contract manager filling a rota checks them before reading a single achievement line.

Naming the year matters more here than in most professions. A lapsed licence is a candidate who cannot start, and a résumé that hides the date reads as a résumé with something to hide.

Counts, and the outcomes beside them

Recorded incidents at the main site down 38% in two years after the patrol route and the visitor check were rewritten. One hundred and forty incidents a year written up in reports the client's insurer accepted without query. Sixty shoplifters detained over three years, with every case handed to the police with a statement. Every one of those is a count with a result attached, which is the only way to describe security work without describing an incident.

The insurer line is the one that matters. In this trade the difference between a competent officer and a liability is measured in paperwork that holds up months later, and a candidate who states that their reports went unquestioned is inviting a check.

Skills for a security officer résumé, grouped

Barnabas's skills fall into site, incidents and people. Site: access control, CCTV monitoring, patrolling, visitor management. Incidents: incident reporting, evidence handling, emergency procedures, health and safety. People: conflict management, team supervision. A security manager reads the incident group as the proof of judgement.

Retail, corporate and event security each stress different skills, so reorder the groups for the post. Name and order the groups yourself in the free résumé builder, or keep one list.

From security assistant to senior officer

A first security role proves presence and reporting: patrols completed, logs kept, incidents passed on correctly. The Fenbrooke roles start there. An officer adds counts and outcomes: incidents handled, losses prevented, evidence that stood up.

A senior officer adds supervision: rotas, briefings, officers trained. The licence stays at the top at every level, because the page is not read without it. The certifications guide covers licence details.

How it reads and scores

The import review reads 3 roles, 1 degree and 11 skills before anything reaches the editor. The ATS checker scored it 98 out of 100, re-measured on 25 September 2026, with readable volume 3 points short and achievement quality 1 point short: 100 × 30% for parseability, 100 × 30% for completeness and 96 × 40% for content. The writing check scored it 95, which is 91 of the 96 points that applied here, and the five it did not award are the tense rule. The same check runs on every example; the method is described here.

What this example leaves off

No incident narratives, no photographs of sites and no description of any detention. The counts describe the experience; the details describe somebody else's worst afternoon and have no place on a document that circulates by email.

Military or police service is included where it applies but is not dramatised. A contract manager reads the licence, the record and the training, and a page written as a war story reads as a risk rather than as a recommendation.

What to change for your own

Change the site. Retail, corporate reception, events, construction and hospital security all use this shape with different risks and different licences. Keep the shape: three dated roles, five verb-first lines under each, a figure in every line. Then put in your own patrol counts, report volumes, incident outcomes and team size.

Keep every licence current and dated. The guide on certifications covers the placement, the design gallery holds 37 layouts, and the retail manager example, the cashier example and the warehouse example sit beside this one.
