Women increasingly began to choose “male” jobs

Why do stars and politicians choose representatives of the fair sex as guards?

Many have already forgotten the history of the March 8 holiday and the time when ladies in Europe fought for equality. Fortunately, in Russia women have long been studying and working on an equal basis with the stronger sex. Moreover, in some professions that were never considered female, they are even making progress.

In the Russian labor market, the demand for women has increased in some “male” areas, and above all this is the security sector. This is evidenced by statistics from studies conducted by a popular job and employee search portal.

If a few years ago the safety and security sector was based on men, now there is no priority based on gender. Many employers consider women even more conscientious than men.

The demand for women in personal protection has increased. Stars of politics and show business hire professional bodyguards – they also provide them so that the security is invisible from the outside. And experts see only advantages in this trend, since a qualified bodyguard must not only be physically prepared and know the job description well, he must also be a good psychologist in order to better understand the needs of the client.

Today, the responsibilities of a public figure’s security include not only escorting and checking the safety of the route, but also monitoring the client’s places of permanent and temporary stay, as well as assistance in unforeseen circumstances.

An increase in demand for female security guards is observed not only in Russia. This profession is popular among girls in many countries today. So Hillary Clinton surrounded herself with several female bodyguards, who were even nicknamed “Hillary’s Angels.” North Korean leader Kim Jong-un’s personal security includes several women. A woman also provides security for movie star Jackie Chan.
