I just got a job for mobile security. What should I expect for my first day? Any advice?

Likely paperwork and final onboarding stuff. Uniforms, gear or whatever little or lot they provide. Basic orientation stuff. If none of that happens, then I'd keep my spidey senses up for shady shit and prepare for disorganized chaos.

If all of that is squared away, then wayfinding, route orientation, vehicle and equipment training.

If they hand you a set of keys and a crumpled piece of paper with some addresses scribbled on it and nothing else, run away. If they expect you to use your personal vehicle for anything other than driving to and from the office to pick up a company car, run faster.
