To find a bodyguard staffing agency in your area, search online. Review the staffing agency's open positions, and upload your resume. The staffing agency will contact you to set up an interview and discuss the next steps. Staffing agencies pair you with job openings with local companies or clients. While staffing agencies are helpful, you can absolutely find clients on your own. If you have any friends, family members, or acquaintances that need a bodyguard, give them your information. In addition, you can market your own protection business by getting business cards, designing a website, and sharing on social media. It is helpful to write an employment contract before you start, outlining your hours and rate of service. A great way to expand your network is to meet people at bodyguard courses. The instructors and other students can help expand your business circle. Ask others if they know of any clients looking for protection, and inquire about the best ways to grow your own business. You can also ask your peers if they've had luck with any staffing agency in particular. To find a bodyguard class, search online and review options near your location. Before a client hires you, they often require a background check to ensure you are a credible professional. To get a background check, search the Internet for online background checks or background report companies. Some are free, while others require a small fee. Most clients do not care what particular background check service you use. Basic background checks usually provide enough insight to your criminal history. If you are applying for high-profile jobs, they may require specific background checking services. If using a staffing agency, they will check your background for you.

Summary: Consult a bodyguard staffing agency to pair you with clients. Take the freelance route to find clients yourself. Network through bodyguard classes to book your clients. Complete a background check before you take on the job.

Face washes and topical treatments containing benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid, sulfur, or resorcinol acid are all effective acne-fighters and are available over-the-counter. You may find products targeted specifically at treating body acne, which may be more effective than products meant to be used on your face. Just make sure you don't forget and use the body product on the delicate skin of your face or the front of your neck. Retinoid creams can help to unclog your pores and eliminate acne on your neck, but you will need to get a prescription from your doctor or dermatologist. Your doctor may prescribe a prescription-strength topical antibiotic, such as clindamycin, to apply to your neck, which kills acne-causing bacteria. It may also reduce redness. You will need to apply it twice daily and combine it with benzoyl peroxide, as this prevents the bacteria from becoming immune to the antibiotic. Oral contraceptives can help to reduce acne in some women, but only if the acne is related to shifts in your hormones. Keep in mind that oral contraceptives have side effects and they should not be used if you are planning to become pregnant. If your dermatologist determines that the acne on the back of your neck is a nodular or cystic lesion, your doctor may decide to inject the lesion directly with a steroid. This can quickly reduce swelling and heal the acne. It may also reduce scarring. Side effects of this treatment include thinning of the skin, increased sensitivity to light, and may temporarily case the fat under your skin to atrophy, giving the area a "sunken" appearance. Isotretinoin is a strong medicine that should only be used if other methods of controlling acne fail to work. Isotretinoin can clear up severe acne in a couple of months, but it also has some severe risks including: Ulcerative colitis Liver damage Inflammatory bowel disease Depression Bone changes Severe birth defects Laser treatments can also help to get rid of acne by reducing the size of oil glands and making them less active as well. Some forms of laser therapy also use topical medicine to make the laser more effective. Keep in mind that you will need multiple treatments in order for laser therapy to work.

Summary: Try over-the-counter treatments. Ask about retinoid creams. Discuss the use of antibiotics. Talk to your doctor about oral contraceptive pills if you are a woman. Consider steroid injections for cystic acne. Consider isotretinoin for severe acne. Look into laser treatments for acne.

If you own your home, a mortgage statement may be used to prove residence. Bring the most recent statement. This will demonstrate that you still reside at this address. The mortgage statement must have your name on it. If the mortgage is not in your name, then the statement will not have your name on it. If you rent, a cancelled rent check can prove where you live. Your landlord must sign a receipt verifying that you live at this address. If you live with relatives and pay rent to them, ask them to sign a statement that you live with them at this address. In this case, you might also be asked to produce mail, such as a bill, addressed to you at this address. Lenders will usually accept a utility bill in your name as proof of your address. Be prepared to provide more than one utility bill. For example, you can provide an electric bill, water bill, sewer bill or phone bill if you have a land line. Be sure that the utility bill has your name on it. If all of your bills are in someone else's name, such as a spouse or roommate, you will need to provide other forms of business mail in your name at that address. Other business mail includes bank statements, credit statements or other household bills besides utilities. The mail must be addressed to you at your address. Don't use junk mail. Since junk mail is not specifically addressed to you, it would not suffice as proof of residence. A library card application requires proof of residence. So, it can also be used to verify that you reside at your stated address. Some lenders may accept this as proof of your address. However, be prepared to bring additional documents, such as bills or other business mail.
Summary: Bring your most recent mortgage statement. Provide cancelled rent checks. Produce utility bills. Show other business mail. Present a library card application.
