How to Format a Cctv Operator Resume
Choosing the proper resume format is essential in making a great resume. For most job seekers, the chronological resume is easily the best choice. Employers are typically interested in your work history and how you added value to your previous company. This format puts that information at the forefront, beginning with your recent job and working backward.
Some candidates would benefit from an alternative format. The two most popular alternatives are the combination resume and the functional resume. The functional highlights your skills and qualifications and downplays your work experience. As the name suggests, the combination resume splits the difference.
How do you decide which format is best for you? Take the candidates below as an example. Candidate A has always held full-time jobs — he likes consistency and stability, making him an excellent fit for the chronological format. Candidate B is accustomed to contracting positions, working for a security firm for six to 12 months. He is well suited to the combination, or hybrid, resume. The commonalities between their resumes are in bold.

Maintain Equipment
Simply knowing how to operate video surveillance equipment is not all there is to being a CCTV Operator. Additionally, CCTV Operators must also be able to maintain and repair that same equipment, whether it’s analog or digital.
Store Footage
Since any amount of footage from any given day could be required at any given time, properly storing footage is one of the most important roles of a CCTV Operator. Storage policy can vary slightly from company to company, but in general CCTV Operators will need to correctly catalog all footage so that it can be easily recalled at a later time.
Watch Surveillance
This is the crucial difference between a CCTV Technician and a CCTV Operator: while the Technician may be asked to come in for a few hours, complete any necessary repairs and then leave, CCTV Operators must watch the video surveillance footage is it’s being recorded.
Make Observations
CCTV Operators don’t just watch a bunch of screens all day. Rather, they must be unwaveringly focused and observant so that whenever they witness something unusual, suspicious or questionable they are able to make a detailed note of it.
Report Incidents
If a CCTV Operator sees something illegal on one of their monitors, it is up to them to contact the appropriate authorities at the appropriate time. In serious situations, CCTV Operators can also save the police vital time by immediately reporting a criminal’s license plate number, clothing, tattoos or other identifying features.

-
Ability to Work Independently
: For the most part, CCTV Operators will not be required to interact with very many people. Because of this, it is important that they’re able to work and stay alert without constant supervision.
-
Communication Skills
