I actually worked 13 hour shifts last two days. Was meant to be 12.5 hours, but leader were late relieving me from my post and deploying the morning shift people on time . It's just annoying cos I'd already been working for ages and just wanted to get home and sleep, but hopefully they will pay me for that extra half an hour of those shifts.

Makes me wonder how some people keep the mentality to do this for for free.. hats off..

hey I have collected my uniform accreditation etc, done all the training but I can't seem to track my SIA license at all even though I had finished the training last week?!
what do I do? they still have my documents and i have no information as to how to get it back or the SIA license!

WTF? Who on earth doe this for free? Now I'm someone who likes doing volunteering every now and then, but screw doing something like this for free, lol.

I've got to say, perimeter guarding has probably got to be one of worst jobs ever - so mind numbingly boring and freaking tiring. I only can't quit because I really need to money and can't find anything better. I'm hoping that pedestrian screening will be a little better, as even though it'll probably be a lot of repetitive work, at least it's a more active work that it sounds better than standing around for several hours not doing much.

Hopefully I'm not gonna do something like this for a long term career.

They basically lead the team, sorting out who goes where and when people get breaks, stuff like that.

I believe that we had CCTV training at same days (28 May - 1 June) right? OR possible that we had role specific training on 2-3 July?

If you are near to Stratford, go early to your Cherry Park and speak with the duty managers. In my venues, there are 2 other people (CCTV Operator) who haven't got allocated role but they have been working continuously.

Yep I had SIA training 28th-1st (I was the tall guy sitting at the far right).

What is this cherry park thing? I'll have to try it Friday as I wont get enough sleep to go Thursday morning now. Plus what time do the shifts start so I'll know how early to be. Cheers.

I'm in da same boat too

Pretty sure that's accreditation scanning.

How do i find out where I'm working? This ESS is showing all my shifts but It don't tell me what location it is or how I even get there .... it just says Common Domain Z4

Do you know where Cherry Park is? The sign in place by the stratford enterance and Westfield shopping center.

Go there, tell them that it is your first day and where you are and they will get someone to take you to the right sign in. As if I am correct it is the sign-in which is in the middle of the park.

Hope this helps.

And now after 6 hours sleep back to travel to get back on shift...

I'm gonna join the trend and try my luck with accreditation and uniform tomorrow, wish me luck

Lolz...I am IC4 guy always sitting 2nd row of front left side.

My shift starts from 6.30 but have to move from house at 4.30. Cherry Park is near olympic park intrance. Approach any one near the entrance and you will be guided. Hey don't forget to reach there by 6 - 6.15 am.

Ah okay thanks very much I will probably ring them up sometime later today just to make sure, don't want to be late on my first day

Going to pick my uniform up today from Pitchford Street, does anyone know how long this takes? Don't really want to be stuck there all day....
