In compliance jobs you will be making sure that certain regulations are followed to the letter. For instance at a construction site you would be ensuring that everyone followed the safety regulations. Some of these could include the safe use of ladders, tools, and other equipment such as forklifts and cranes.
In the workplace you would check to see if the building is in good condition, and if everyone is following the set rules there. Note that these are not necessarily rules set by the company, but rules set by the state or the compliance board. Many people and companies will see you as pushy or inconvenient, but in all honesty your goal is to make sure that they can survive to go home to their families one more time. This is a noble goal, but are you really qualified to do it.
You will need experience in many different fields before you can actually be a compliance officer. If you choose to be a compliance officer in the construction field then you will need to know construction inside and out. You might even need to be familiar with the job of an electrician. At this point you might think that the only compliance jobs are to be found with compliance companies but that is not entirely true.
Believe it or not there are actually companies that will hire their very own compliance officers to stay on staff full time. This will give you the health benefits of that company, and you will be guaranteed long term employment. After all, a company would rather have a compliance officer on staff than have one come in out of the blue to check their work. It's easier that way, and they would actually rather have someone on staff that they feel they can trust. Don't let that get in the way though. Just because they feel that they can trust you doesn't mean you should slack off at all. You still have a job to do, and you can't cut anyone a break.
To find a good compliance job all you need to do is look. Thanks to the internet we now have access to all kinds of job postings that may or may not suit our needs. Regardless, they are there and they are very useful. Thanks to job related websites we can even post our resumes online and allow employers to view them. This will give you the maximum exposure and allow you to speak to many different potential employers before you make your decision. The best part about this is that you will be a compliance officer and you will get to choose your job carefully. This is not an entry level job where you had to grab every job opportunity that came your way. Now the choice is yours, enjoy it.
